Why on Earth would anyone want to go mountain biking?


There are a lot of possible answers to the title question.  Some are quite serious, some a bit less so.

  • Its fun!
  • Mountain bikes can go anywhere.
  • There aren’t any cars in the woods.
  • A lot of road skills (and fitness) transfer readily to the mountain bike thing.
  • Off road riding will help you become a better bike handler.
  • It’s not as cold riding in the woods.
  • There is more to look at.
  • It’s quieter away from the traffic.
  • It’s a lot of fun!
  • After a bit of instruction and a couple of hours of practice, you will be doing things you would not believe.
  • It doesn’t hurt as much when you fall down.
  • Different is good.
  • It helps keep you motivated and turned on.
  • Smiling and laughing is good for you.
  • It’s good exercise.
  • People will wonder why you are smiling more.
  • It’s fun!
  • A trip into the woods doesn’t cost as much as a movie.
  • We have some great trails here in town now.
  • You get to show off.
  • If you show off too much, you’ll fall down and remember who you are.
  • It’s really nice and social…  Sort of.
  • It’s faster than golf.
  • It’s safer than base jumping.
  • You don’t need a parachute.
  • It’s a lot of fun!
