mtn or road

mtnrider said:

Just wondering, do you ride road or do you like to mtn bike? check the one that best fits you if you are mostly one but do a little of another check the pne you do more. Only check both if you are close to fifty fifty.

I'm a 52 year old reformed couch potato. Bought my first bike last July, a hybrid. Did a little of each, definitely prefer road, can't get enough. About 2500 road miles now and commuting and working toward my first century (53 miles today).

Mountain and road as well, but I prefer mountain.🙂

i ride mountain 🙂.

the way i look at it is that i can ride on a road if i like, and sure a road cyclist would thrash me, but if i wanted to i could take a short cut over a muddy footpath.

for me its about freedom and a MTB gives me that.

I like both mountain and road. I ride trials and mostly do that.

I like hitting jumps with my road bike...just kidding...but ive seen it done before. I prefer long distances, but i do enjoy mountain biking a lot.

CYCLOCROSS!!!!!!! owwwwwwww!! =)

Seing as i at the moment only a cheap giant boulder i prefer to ride mountain bikes but since the bike is what it is i dont have much fun. I am getting a new one soon but i dont know what it will be yet limit about a thousand. In the mean time i use it mainly to comute but at the moment i am to cheep to by lower profile tires as i am saving for the bike. This makes the ride interesting but not to hard. It is harder now seeing as my parents made me stop in december and november😠 but i understand why they did it. I dont know why people complain about thier parents so much. If you complane it is only so much harder on you. But it seems to be instinct.
