I've gone through different phases. As a kid, my rides were all about fun a dn occasionally going to the shops to pick up groceries.
My rides were always fun even on those days that it didn't seem to be. Later, the bike was a mixture of fun and getting to uni and work.
After that was a short break and I resend again for training which then morphed into commuting. I knew back then that I shouldn't get top carried away with commuting as it would deviate fr purely leisure rides and so it proved but with a deliberate turnaround, I managed to enjoy quite a few leisure rides mixesim with the commute.
Then covid and the lockdowns hit and finally I started making more use of.my MTB. No longer did I feel I had a bike I wasn't using much and nowadays it gets used at least as much as the road bike.
Who knows what the future holds but but these days I don't fancy going out in the rain and cold any more unless I have a particular destination or errand. Winter doesn't always mean rain so inatil get out on the road bike when I can but it's slowly being relegated to staying indoors. The MTB still comes out whatever the weather.
So they are the different phases of my riding: from fun and grocery shopping to commuting to work and uni, to getting fit, back to commuting and then into MTB.
How about y'all?
