Message: [QUOTE="twiceahusky, post: 3900413, member: 7126"] Jibsey, might not be a great space to challenge your bad take ... probably better to send thoughts and prayers to Shawn and family. But ... Nothing makes me or many folks smile like biking. I don't care if riding a beater to the store, or some carbon full suspension wonderbike through the rough. Be out there forever? If you could hold my tire for 2 minutes up to the Rez watertower, I'd bet huge $$ you'd puke. Look like a doofus? I get chills thinking about seeing my crew all padded/helmeted up and ready to ride - bada$$es. Get a real workout? Mtbing is a full body workout - not just legs, but core and arms also get punished. You might be surprised how physically challenging it can be going down hill, let alone up one. Anyone who suggests indoor machines probably doesn't value the outdoors or riding with a solid crew of friends. Most who do ride a lot love every aspect ... the physical, the mental, being outdoors, being with friends, fixing mechanicals, upgrading, getting more folks to experience the awesomeness and watching them improve. I'd say there are no bad rides, but I guess Shawn proves that wrong. Good luck on the physical/mental recovery big fella. [/QUOTE]
