Who all still rides bicycles?

[Hardline]

I grew up riding BMX bikes and 10 speeds.
I'm getting the urge to get another bicycle and riding around town.

 

[Rockport]

I’ve got a hybrid bike. Does both road and trails but I use it strictly for exercise riding the back roads of the Big Island.

I'm a passionate Mountain Bike rider. Downhill n all. Even though I stay away from the more hazardous downhill tracks now that I have turned 40. Your body just isn't as agile anymore to compensate falls.

But I'd never ride around town or to work or anything. That's just stupid and I hate all these campaigns by environmentalists to ride your bike or public transit.

The car it is for me and always will be, even if the whole planet goes to hell because of that (which it doesn't but that's another discussion).

I haven't been on my mountain bike since I let it go with the weight these last few years, but slowly getting back there. Paid way too much for that thing to let it sit.

Huge fan of riding mountain bike trails. Both mountain bikes and dirt bikes, never gets old. (Even though I do!) I feel Streifenkarl's comment. Always looking for that thrill again, but have to be realistic with the age.

Here's a free date or marriage tip for you if it applies. My wife never learned how to ride a bike. But I found that on tandem bikes, as long as the lead can ride it, it's all that matters. The second person is literally just there for more pedal power.

So when we would go on vacation, from beaches to woods, wherever we found bike trails and tandem bikes for rent, would do it, and my wife loved every second since she never got to experience it.

I was a regular road rider until the late 80's when I hopped on a mountain bike for the first time. I road for exercise and once I discovered that trail riding was both more physical than road riding AND the thrill factor was off the charts higher it was a done deal.

I still get on the old Stumpjumper pretty regular but I don't push it like I used to.

I love riding my bicycle. I have a mounting bike. I like to do trails around the state park I live near. I also like to just ride around town. Riding around listening to some music is fun.

I plan to get something like this, and to have some fun with it

 

[HungryLion]

I also got an electric powered scooter. It’s a pretty powerful one. It goes 28 mph. That’s a lot of fun to ride around also.

 

[Creeper]

I used to ride all the time when I was younger, and I had a stationary bike in the house for riding when the weather was bad outside. Then I read an article about how bike riding can be bad for men because those thin bike seats can cause prostate problem especially for men as they get older. I didn't have problems but I wanted to avoid those problems. I tried a special seat made for men with prostate problems, but the wider shape of the seat seemed more suited for coasting down hills than peddling. I just didn't like it, so I gave up riding altogether. Now I run on a treadmill, which causes other problems. Actually, I think it is just aging that is the problem.

I ran my treadmill into the ground and replacement parts are getting hard to find - and expensive so I may be in the market for a new treadmill.

I posted that picture, and now the advertisements on cowboyszone are for motored bicycles

These are a lot more fun that I anticipated. I work downtown, where parking is at a premium, so my boss bought my group a pair that we could use. I've taken them out several times for lunch/etc. and I have a blast on them.

are they stand up or sit down scooters?

 

[Tabascocat]

I used to race BMX until I was 16. Had many Redlines, Mongoose, etc. I can’t recall ever getting on a bicycle since then when I got my DL. I keep pondering to get a mountain bike for the last decade or so to take advantage of these California mountains and trails. Maybe one day….

Yeah man. They are just a ton of fun to ride around on when you don’t have far to go

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Rode bikes as a kid and then picked it up again in grad school. Was able to bike to work for a couple of years before taking a new job farther away from home.

 

[Doomsday]

I grew up riding BMX bikes but really don't like bikes these days. They are just too big and heavy relative to what I used to love about BMX bikes.

 

[DFWJC]

Sure.
Riding around the lake is a great way to get outdoors inthe city

 

[SlammedZero]

Stand up.

I do believe they are these exact ones.
