Hello all,
My wife finally broke down and let me buy a decent bike, but I don't know where to ride, and don't really want to ride alone. I'm also kind of a novice at mountain biking. Looking to meet others who know the area and an extra riding buddy.

Mikey, where do you live?

i ride every single day buddy and the riding everywhere alone is getting pretty old. any day of the week man id be up to the challenge for sure!

Disdain of fixies?

[allezane]

yeah i have no actual problem with the bikes themselves they are actually pretty elegant and simple its more the high school kids who ride them that for some reason need to create a problem with me because i have brakes. ive had three kids yell at me and others that when i pull up next to them wont even talk to me

[allezane]

Maybe its because im only twenty they feel more inclined than heckling some middle age cyclist

[Industry_Hack]

You do realize the irony of that, don't you?

[allezane]

irony where? i dont understand the hostility i get

[Industry_Hack]

I don't understand why my kids dress the way they do, or like the music they do. Even the smartest kids are stupid when they are in their teens to early twenties. We were just like them, back in the day.

I am Twenty though!!! i just figured there would be some common ground there seeing as you know they are also on a bike... obviously they do not share the same sentiments
