Get your saddle as low as possible, make sure you are bouncing up and down as you peddle along

I saw a woman riding a cheap looking full sus MTB like that the other day. Looked like she was riding a horse, rising trot style.
At least she was riding, I was in the car wearing a suit.

The women in question.

If you had said.

"Riding an Mtb IN full susp-----."

A few of us oldies might have shown more interest.

If I get the rising trots, the last thing needed is a bouncy bike! :blush:

MTBing is fantastic but a totally different deal to the road. The main difference is that with off road riding you're taking your life in your own hands, whilst riding on the road you're putting your life in the hands of other people. I like to remember this occassionally.

I like to ride road and MTB, though my MTB was out of action for over a year. I repaired it recently and have enjoyed getting back on the bridleways again. There are some very good ones round here.

I can't understand why roadies wouldn't enjoy getting away from the traffic for a while and seeing places that a road bike would struggle to get them to.

I can't understand why MTB riders wouldn't enjoy the exhilaration of riding a good road bike from time to time.

I usually do about 2 road rides to every MTB ride.

There arn't many roadies around here, I'd love to see them try! The A roads' traffic is lethal and the cycletracks usually require a MTB! Plus I can go through woods, fields, bridleways etc. without an issue :smile:

Although, I wouldnt mind a road bike, It wont go everywhere I want it to.
