Used to ride all the time when I lived in Arizona. Used to ride 10 miles to work, I had a nice Trek bike. Out here, riding would be a death wish. :S

I used to road race and downhill when I was in the military. I road Cannondale on the road and a Stumpjumper for downhill. Haven't ridden in years. I sported a Diamondback Rattler to race BMX and freestyle ride when I was in high school.

I like mountain biking. There are some foothills about 5 mins away with some very cool single track. Haven't been on a ride since I crashed hard about a month ago, still have some aches in my back and shoulder from that.

No...I keep reminding myself to do it and then I get to doing something else and forget. Fuckin short attention span. Tomorrow for sure.

Odd that this thread should pop up just now. For the last few weeks, I've been researching the bicycle market, and I've decided to get a Hybrid (probably a Trek 7300 or a comparable Cannondale, Giant or Fuji). All that's left is to find a good price from a good retailer.

Kuzi, where did you ride? There's only 2 parks with "official" mountain bike trails and they're on opposite side of Columbus - are there any good parks/trails in your part of the state?

I ride clipless, (mtb) I find it a lot more efficient for riding. I feel it makes me a lot more surefooted as well. The best thing about clipless is that you can adjust the spring tension on the pedals by turning an allen wrench bolt, it's super easy. You can make them so loose that your feet will come out at the slightest pull, and you can make it where your feet are locked on the bike and are not coming off no matter what (true story, and have the scars to prove that "Yes I was that stupid") I say go clipless, it's a bit of an expense, but in my opinion well worth it.
