Everyone has a different relationship with mountain biking. For some, it’s life. For others, it’s just one hobby among many. And depending on who you know and where you live, mountain biking is either seen as totally normal… or totally weird.

This is pretty interesting. I hapen to be in the fewer than 20% category, which for now is the highest percentage. After all my years of praises for mountain biking including weight loss, increased endurance, improved reaction time and just outright fun. I still cannot get most of my friends to even try it. I guess I am not alone
“Friends” people I have dinner with, exchange x-mas cards, whose kids names and ages I know, etc. – none of them mountain bike.
“Acquaintances”, local IMBA club members. I know some of their first names, I might know where they work; grab a beer a burger with them post-ride once a season, and work with them on trail-build days, but that’s about it. – Many acquaintances mountain bike.
Not enough
I tend to be in the same category as the two previous commentors.
I like doing things with friends, and the things we do are ski and mountain bike. Fortunately, a lot of folks like to bike here in Vermont.
Interesting, fewer than 20%, but if you don’t count the friends I have made since I came back to mountain biking in 2015 after years away, the number is 1.
