Anyone else here absolutely crave a bike ride on a hot summer day after a nice smoke? Its my absolute favourite thing to do, especially when you got a friend around. Its just something about the feeling of freedom you get being on a bike, being able to go anywhere, enjoying the breeze, flying down a giant hill, or exploring the city or countryside (Depending on wherever you may live). When your high it just amplifies the great feeling you get. My favourite thing to do is bike to my little secluded spot in a foresty area of the park, smoke up, and then continue on down this trail into a ravine and just ride until im tired. When I go to a friends house its all the better because I get to explore new areas that I haven't seen before. Last night for example my friend and I went to the top of this massive grass hill at a park. We chilled at the top where we could see the entire downtown skyline lit up, then flew down the hill full speed!! (No helmet, yeah were stupid like that). Then saw some kids playing baseball and we toked up as we watched. Anyways im rambling now, just felt like sharing my thoughts.. Check out this music video though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4FM2_t3ALo Love listening to that song on my rides.
When I first started hiking I thought I would both hike and bike in the future. But you miss a lot biking on a trail, so I do not go biking. I can see why it would be fun though- <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zu2Qqi9bzkc"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zu2Qqi9bzkc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eUwLMwP4X6Y"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eUwLMwP4X6Y" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> This isn't actual mountain biking but it is a 170kph mountain bike crash <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZNwmpLPhoHw"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZNwmpLPhoHw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
I used to put miles and miles on my Giant Specialized I had for a while. But after my cousin died(inspired me and went on many rides together) I had to sell the bike cuz of the memories. Now, if I want to bike, the Diamondback ViperXL is my weapon of choice.
I ride street mtb and some downhill. Its hella fun but the stacks arnt so great at around 70km into a tree
