Road bike or Mountain bike? |
which do you prefer? I enjoy both! I started on the mountain bike, but in the past few years I've turned more roadie than dirthead. I still love to go out and hit the trails, but there is a big reason I do more road: accessibility. To go mountain biking, I can either hit the easy trail less than a mile from my house, or I have to load my gear and drive to the trailhead, then drive back. On the road bike, I'm on a ride the instant I roll out of my driveway, and I can get more miles in. I love riding any bicycle, honestly, so the road bike makes it easier to do more of it! I think of the mountain bike as my fun bike; something to go play around on and get dirty for a change of pace. But the road bike is there for pure speed and endurance. fat knobbies can't hold a candle to how fast you can go on a road bike, and I can regularly top 50mph on certain downhills. It's not what you ride, just THAT you ride that matters! Mountain bike - I need a rugged bike to get over those potholes and curbs down here in Louisiana. Mountain! I recently just about gave up roadbiking altogether. It got so insanely boring! Mountain keeps me alert and provides obstacles and challenges that road biking doesnt. USAT triathlete, bike shop biatch, adventure racer This is an easy one. Mountain biking is the way to go for me. I love the s-turns & speed. That and I'm not about to shave my legs and where spandex. Live to bike. Road. Depends on the day and time... I like both. If you are on the fence get a hybrid... |
