I'll probably look for a new bike next year. This year, me and the wife are planning on trying out the whole cycle-touring/camping thing, and until we get a better idea of what we want out of our bikes we're going to stick with what we have.
My wife has a Schwinn Cruiser that we recently had upgraded to 21 speed from the stock 6.
I have a cheap, full-suspension mountain bike that I added some high-rise handlebars to. It looks completely ridiculous because I haven't lengthened the brake and shifter cables yet, so things are mounted willy-nilly on the bars. I will have it fixed before this season starts because even though it's comfortable and fun to ride, it's just not safe that way.
Depending on how things go this year will influence the budget for next.
