    This morning i decided to ride for my cardio since i'll be driving today. Really humid outside, about 72 degrees.

    It was a good ride. Sometimes its nice to ride with no cars around.

    Cool This summer I'm the one home with the kids

    So I'm trying to keep them busy with regular daily biking. This will most likely be the only cardio I'll get and once they are back in school I'll be dropping it down to a couple times a week. Luckily we have many bicycle paths here.

    A mountain bike. CCM not expensive but serves it's purpose. Same with the kids.
    There are also some trails we'll hit which will be more fun than level ground.

    Smile OK, I'm in

    I'm planning on driving down to the beach, parking the truck and then riding the beachfront. The beachfront in Long Branch (NJ) is 2 miles end to end. Two round trips gives 8 miles. I may then lock up the bike and park my butt on the beach. Tell me this is not a nice way to spend a summer Sunday afternoon.

    I used to ride from home to the beach... the round trip was about 16-20 miles depending on how much I tooled around at the beachfront. I'm not quite up to that kind of ride yet. Especially not at 87 degrees.

    Cool, a bike thread.

    I finally got a bike (mountain) after having to leave my bike in FL a few years ago, and I've been discovering just how awesome the biking is around where I live. There are about 50 miles of paved and unpaved trails that pass within a few miles of my apartment. It's awesome. So far this summer, I've done two 40-mile trips and a 50-mile (among the usual nightly 13-15 mile trips).

    Unfortunately it's 90 degrees already today and supposed to stay that way all day (yesterday it was 97!) and I'm a little sunburned, so I think I'll be doing my cardio indoors until it cools back down.
    "This," I said pleasantly, "is known as getting it on."

    Well, I got a mountain bike even though 90% of my biking is on roads--mainly because I wanted the ability to go off-road if need be, and because all the hybrids were out of the price range I wanted to spend.

    Now, lemme get this straight... you've done 40 and 50 miles on a mtb on the road? In my heyday I could only get up to about 28-30 miles before I wanted morphine... copious amounts.

    Well, like cars, there's no reason why you can't have more than one bike? I have a cross for now, but as soon as I find a good road bike my size, I'm there. However, I don't believe in making the purchase then letting it sit in storage most of the time (like so many people I know) if I buy it...I'll ride it!

    Hello fellow bikers!

    I ride XC mostly, there are miles of singletrack about 10 minutes away from my house, I normally ride for about an hour or two so it's a decent cardio workout.

    I ride an IH Warrior right now with a few upgraded parts, and I have a Hollowpoint frame I'm building up to be a fairly light full suspension XC bike. Although the components are damn expensive (going with Avid hydraulic brakes, XT drivetrain) so who knows when it'll be done. I'll post pics soon!

    I totally agree with the having more than one bike thing. I have 6 that get ridden in various amounts but they all get ridden occasionally.

    By cross bike do you mean cyclo-cross.

    Aufftrain, hydro discs are the sh*t especially in wet conditions. Good luck with the new bike.

    SuperDavid, I beat the crap out of a Giant hardtail for about 6 years and it is still a decent bike. They are a hell of a bike for the money. Since I bought a full suspension bike that I mainly ride now, Im thinking about converting the Giant to a single speed.

    Nice, didn't know this thread was here until now.

    Haro ICS 4.0 here but it's a couple years old now. Looking into a Specialized Stump Jumper next.


    I ride the various gravel trails around my area and also sometimes the ones at Bluemarsh and French creek park but they are brutal on the assets.


    Me the wife and son do about 5 to 10 miles on the trails usually one day a week.

    Well, like cars, there's no reason why you can't have more than one bike? I have a cross for now, but as soon as I find a good road bike my size, I'm there. However, I don't believe in making the purchase then letting it sit in storage most of the time (like so many people I know) if I buy it...I'll ride it!
    Actually, there is a reason and that's space. I live in a one-bedroom apartment and my bike currently sits right in the middle of my entryway. If and when I have the room, I may get another.

    Speaking of having another bike, I somehow managed to pull a pectoral muscle while lifting my bike up the stairs to my apartment after riding the other day. This is the part where I regret having a 35-pound mountain bike instead of a 7-pound road bike. So, no riding outside until that heals (since I can't lift it), but I did set it up on the trainer tonight so at least I can ride inside.
    "This," I said pleasantly, "is known as getting it on."

    Riding the trainer when the weather is bad sucks, riding the trainer when the weather is nice sucks x10. Hope you get well soon.

    Riding a roadie is like riding a bullet. They are so fast compared to a mtb. I just don't like the riding stance.

    I was semi-coerced into a roadie years ago. I was riding with a local bike club and doing just fine on my mtb on the slower rides for inexperenced riders. It was sort of an ego boost because I was a pretty strong and experienced rider compared to them, so I coached a bit.

    But I wanted to do some faster and longer rides also, hence the roadie. But I could never quite get to like it. Every time I turned around, I had a flat... usually from picking up glass shards. To date since 1995 I've only had two flats on my mtbs. Besides, I think the riding clothes on roadies are a little too precious. I like my cargo shorts (though I do have biking shorts for the padding), t shirts and Timberland hiking boots. I tried a hybrid, but I just didn't care for it.

    Yeah, one of the things I like about my mountain bike is that it essentially feels the same riding anywhere. Oops, run out of pavement? No problem, just ride on the dirt, grass, etc. until you find more.

    I wear the same clothes biking that I wear to the gym. Cotton/spandex tank and yoga pants. Works fine.

    That works.

    My attire? Mesh shorts, biker shirt and backpack filled with a tire repair kit, gatorade/creatine mix, beef jerky, spare gloves and a towel.

    When I went on longer rides to the beach I'd wear a backpack that had my towel, magazine(s), and snacks.

    I keep a small saddle bag on the bike that has a bottle of Slime (which, btw, works admirably ), a multi-tool and a few other doo-dads. The problem I had until I bought cargo-type shorts was carrying my wallet. I used to have a sports wallet that velcroed closed and clipped on the waist. Must look for one.

    I had a really nice bike shirt years ago; it had the image of a mountain biker superimposed on and blending into the image of a ram's head. Alas, I outgrew it. I wish I could find something like that again. Must look for one.

    Man I could have fun fixing that!


    But I will stick to being nice.

    I'm usually out in cargo shorts, cotton T shirt and I'm the one carrying the tire repair equipment, snacks (trail mix) and water. My wife carries the first aid stuff and we have had to use both people and tire repair several times. lol

    I do a decent wheely. If I do only say so myself.

    never tried the bladders, never really go out long enough to merit using one and cleaning it out all the time. I bet they are nice for long days out though.



    Any bike will do jw, it's being out there that counts man!

    Nice!!
    I remember being young and in the car on the way somewhere and seeing some old guy doing a wheelie and going around a corner on one wheel.
    Ever since then I became obsessed with being good at wheelies and being able to go around corners! To this day I can't help but wheelie all the time!

    I tried using a camelback but i just don't like it. I just pull over and take a drink from my bottle in my pack. My bottle cage is being used to hold my nicad battery for the niterider.

    I used a HydraPak when I trained and ran the 1998 Marine Corps Marathon. The pack was a lifesaver, because I had a habit of training my Sunday long runs between 8:30am-1pm... in the summer (MCM is in October). I would fill the pack at home and refill it once or twice at a park along my route. Without it I think I would have had (de)hydration issues.

    On the bike I've just always carried a water bottle and made sure I followed a route where I could refill (parks, etc.) or stop at a convenience store to buy water or a sports drink.
