| Kwaidd said: I ride frequently, but I'm a mtn biker. I do have a Lemond road bike, but hardly ever use it. I find road riding boring and even worse, dangerous with the motorists lack of care. I'll take my chances with rocks, roots and trees anyday. My main ride is a 2016 Trek Remedy 8. Id link a pic, but have no idea of how to do that. |
I used to be much more into mountain biking than road riding. Almost all my accidents have been while mountain biking though, maybe I finally had enough of being banged up half the summer :) There are still plenty visible scars on my legs and arms.
Last year I got 'doored' cycling a bit too close to parked cars. The tip of my handle bar hit the car door swinging open in front of me, knocking the wheel sideways and I went flying, landing on my back on the road, not fun. Crashing on a mountain bike path is preferable (Unless you're unlucky and end up with a stick sticking through your arm, luckily never happened to me)
Anyway I should have taken my bike today, got pulled over on the road for out of date license plate sticker. CAD 110 fine. I swear we never got the renewal notice. Frigging archaic system anyway, stickers in 2017...
