  1. Hello friends,

    I've decided that the best way to get around my pure habitat will be on a freeride mountain bike.
    I'm after a radical bike with preferably at least 8 inches of travel so that I can huck off drops to
    avoid riding the same piece of ground more than once. I'd also like to be able to run big tires too
    so that any whipsnakes I run over will get some cushioning.

    Are there any bikes suitable?

    Oh and I'd also like it to be made purely out of wood from sustainable forests.

    Thanks for your comments and advice,

    Mike Vandeman.

    I am working on creating an mtb habitat that is off-limits to eco-terrorist nutters ("pure
    habitat"😉. Want to help? (I've spent the previous 8 years on methadone dependence and all I do is
    post annoying messages to newsgroups.)
