A ton of my friends ride, and are constantly trying to get me to buy a bike. But, I am a runner. My doc says eventually my knees are going to hate me (more than they do now) for running on pavement. And that I (should) will get a bike at that point. My buddy has a 29er with a 4 inch front tire front, front suspension, and rigid rear.
He goes on and on about his fancy hubs. "They give you instant peddle responsiveness" and so on...
He rides downhill with a group of guys that are very competitive. I have been hesitant to go with them as they ride fast. I have seen the damage he has sustained form crashing.
I am moving out of the forest and to a city, def going to get a bike next year when I do...
