You'll always want a better bike.

[HappyMartin]

You'll always want another bike.

[Chro Mo]

But you'll keep thinking about that old 10 speed you had when you were fourteen. in later years you'll swear it was the best bike you ever owned....(it wasn't).

Being fit doesn't mean it gets easier, you just go a lot further, a lot faster.

[Tubehunter]

I surf and ride bikes because...... problems can't!

That the cost of cycling has nothing to do with the purchase price of your bike ...

Never has a truer word been written.

 

In order to be even moderately good, relatively large sacrifices have to be made.

 

Which is why I am moderately average.

Did this once, lets end this story here.

 

'Smile and greet, it doesnt take much effort'

no matter how fast you think you are, there's always someone faster than you.

No matter how slow you are, there's always someone slower than you.

One thing l learned from cycling.........

 

 

Does not matter how often or hard i hit them with my head / shoulders / ass, rocks will not bleed. All the blood seems to be mine. Balance practice maybe?

[schizo]

You never get better at cycling, Only faster

If I had to post only one: "Money can't buy talent, and talent trumps money"

 

Training/Riding trumps talent.

[Gambithunt]

I disagree, having a nice bike improves my riding in so many ways.

 

Sure it doesn't roll up a hill but it inspires me to push myself beyond what I ever thought I could do. Looking down at a beautiful machine makes it an absolute pleasure to sit on the saddle, even when I cant feel my ass anymore.

 

As for MTB, the difference is night and day. A great bike is much more fun to ride, it's faster where it counts abs inspires confidence where I would probably crap myself on something else.
