I seem to hear people advising new riders to get a plus bike because it makes riding easier. I think that is bad advise; riding skills are a good thing to learn and probably best learned when first getting into the sport... just my opinion. I also hear people advising newbies to get a super…
I've been getting emails about this as well. My reaction? Meh. A bit of a kooky idea in general and in Columbus? Seems like something that should happen in the metro Atlanta...
With your description of "however probably never progressing beyond beginner/intermediate level with still lots of riding on gravel/old wood roads" I'd suggest a standard 29 or 27.5 hardtail, depending upon what size...
back in the mid 90's when I started mtn biking this was called "riding light".... back when we used skills instead of getting bigger wheels,using wider tires or slacker head tubes to make riding easier
I would prefer it to just do what it was designed for and maybe make that experience better. I'm trying to rid my life of excess social media, not add more... especially if it will just clutter up what I consider a great tool
It has been 17 years since I rode Walker Ranch. I still have the scars from an epic crash there... over the bars total carnage, I wish I had video of that crash as it must have been quite a site. Then we had to ride the bikes back to town with myself in horrible…
I'm not sure why anyone would say those are not real mountain bikes. They all look okay to me. I have been riding mtn bikes for 23 years and almost pulled the...
The unofficial trail builder that I am assuming you speak of is who I first thought of when reading the thread topic. That person has been honing the craft for about 20...
I'd love to do this but it is on a race weekend here in GA. Maybe next year. Bear Creek, Mountaintown, Potato Patch, etc was the area I cut my teeth on in the 90's, I'd highly recommend this ride to anyone not familiar with the area
I saw this beer and it really looked like something I would enjoy, as I am not terribly into overly hopped beers and am always on the lookout for a great hot summer day beer. But once I got into the first of the six pack it seemed real weak on the flavor and not…
Glad that Snyder stepped in to fill the void in Tucker after Bikeways closed shop.Good people. They are now my closest shop; according to their map I live somewhere near the Plateau of Gorgoroth!
uhh, you sort of screwed up here... sounding like a douchebag trying to cash in easy money rather than a true mountain biker who is in the sport for the right reasons....
Always start with cleaning and re-greasing with a creaking in the drive train. I recently had a creak in my bottom bracket area when putting good pressure on my road bike. I...
I've been wrapping my chain stays with electrical tape for nearly 20 years; one additional thing that I do is wrap the chain stay with a strip from an old tube and then wrap that with the tape. It helps dampen the chain slap noise
Duck Rabbit Milk Stout, out of North Carolina. Out here in the Stn Mtn/Tucker/Lilburn area I get it at Smokerise Bottle Shop but have also seen it at a local Kroger every...
