get '/' do
"Your IP address is #{....}"
end

A:
I was coming to post the answer anyway.. so:
get '/' do
"Your IP address is #{ @env['REMOTE_ADDR'] }"
end
Sinatra uses the Rack::Request API, so you can use a lot of things available in it.
Also a link to the Sinatra doc's.

Hm, the Rack::Request API mentions an `ip` method, which handles the `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR` as well, is there a way to call this from Sinatra?

you should be able to just do #{ @env['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] } I have never tested this though, so I'm not positive.

you can do request.ip directly, as well. get "/" do; "your IP: #{request.ip}"; end
