Thus, I'm also sticking to mountain biking, w/helmet and pads and staying on flat singletrack. I'm still in the process of buying a new MTB. Still riding the clunker. I like to justify it by saying I'm getting better exercise riding the clunker. Yesterday, two bikers passed me on what looked like state-of-the-art mountain bikes. Thew blew past me. I then tried to keep up, but it was impossible. But, just like the turtle and the hare story, I finished 10 miles off road. I did it in 1.5 hours. They probably in half hour. Who got more exercise? LOL. Wish I had a new bike. sooon!
Not to derail this topic too much.. I upgraded my Beach Cruiser not long ago to an Electra and it is a MAJOR upgrade. I feel like I can pedal once and I coast for a mile before I have to pedal again. I'd imagine it's the same for Mountain Bikes.
