cruiser Posted January 30, 2012 Share Reason i ask the question is i have sold my road bike thinking to get a mtb, but now more hesitant than ever to get another bike. A great sport for sure and even when not riding, not so cool to have a machine parked though. Edited January 30, 2012 by cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieL Posted January 30, 2012 Share Maybe just my experience, but road bikes tend to need a lot less maintenance than MTBs. Probably coz they get knocked about a lot less. I love road biking, just not the fact about the safety aspect becoming a problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 30, 2012 Share Erm... MTB all along, bought a road bike thinking it might be different, then sold it and bought a DH bike. I've always been an MTB okie. Might not always have been able to have an MTB, but given a choice... Plus, MTB is far more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, how many sports can you do that nowadays, and wear it as a badge of honour, as a 30 year old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsew Posted January 30, 2012 Share MTB all the way, although I enjoy Road races, but in general scared of motorists - almost got taken out twice yesterday at Ladies Mile and Kendel Road!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted January 30, 2012 Share the last road bike i owned was a western flyer back in the late 80's. Does that put me in the category of "Road to MTB"??? otherwise I am in the category of "MTB all the way" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
