Anyone Mountain Bike?

[Mudwisel]

I've never Mountain Biked, but for two years I rode a bike to school, a 3 speed 20" with a banana seat. That was uphill both ways!

You said Banana seat

Haha actually they do. I ride a bike every other day. A Nordic track ifit trainer. Just don't ride one outdoors. A bike is the best exercise for joints, knees & hips No compression. one of my old athletic trainers got me on to it.
I just have issues with ones on the rd where i live lol. They have all these stickers that say “same road same rules” but they never adhere to them. 90% road bikes not mountain bikes. We have some great mountain bike trails in our state land trail system. A good friend of mine frequents many of them often.

Exactly the reason I got back into it. I wasn't supposed to be able to walk and lucky to be alive after my motorcyle accident. Use to race everything from motocross, Hare scrambles and enduro. Busted knee and missing a piece of the pelvis. It keeps me moving

yes the idea is to keep moving. Thats what the AT’s told me when I stopped playing ball.

I will never be 100% but it beats the alternative. I can think of much easier ways to make life changes which I needed to do for many reasons. Something good can come from anything. I had a friend tell me god will never put you through anything you cant handle which I replied to him " I just wish he didn't think I was such a badass" I was kidding of course

 

[Remington]

god will never put you through anything you cant handle

I agree with that statement.

I have ZERO desire to road bike. Never have, never will. It's bad enough trying to dodge giant SUVs on a 150hp motorcycle...much less on a fatass powered roadie. There is plenty of shoulder most places out here and I still wouldn't do it.
And at the risk of sounding like a self-centered prick, some roadies do seem to have an attitude problem.

I agree. around here you have glass on the shoulder and every few houses a dog comes running after you

I love it when they ride in the middle of the road when there is a perfectly good bike path right next to it

🤔… and this 👆👆👆👆👆 is a typical Dick response.

And so is this… 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆

I think you spandex is too tight

 

[KenThompson]

LOL...typical response of a self-centered prick.

I guess you haven’t seen the entitled bike riders in Portland. They think they own the road, but haven’t paid a dime for it. They are still learning that a 30 pound bike is no match for a 7000 pound truck.

My point exactly! I hate that…

See the last sentence of post #48.

Regardless, what does that have to do with a thread on mountain biking on hondasxs.com?

It’s funny that some people will b!tch about anything even after their guy was “installed” in the White House… 🙄
