Bike Riding
    #5751779 - 06/14/06 11:06 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

So I've ridden my bike everyday for the past month. Woohoo! It's exercise, and yet I enjoy it. How unexpected that is. Anyway, who else rides bikes and what type do you have, how long do you ride each day?

I have a bike we bought for around two hundred dollars, a Diamondback bike and I ride for about an hour each day. We have lots of attachments we've added to it. It's lots of fun to ride to the grocery store and bring back stuff. Eventually my goal is to totally abandon my car and bike or ride the bus exclusively everywhere.

I ride mine everyday (weather permitting). I usually get in around 15 miles per ride. I love to ride...except for when cars almost run me down or people hassle me. I now carry my gun on me when I ride too.

Wow...15 miles a day...that's amazing! I'm still a beginner so I think that distance will kill me...but still, it's something to aspire to.

The reason why I took up bike riding: I never see any fat people riding bikes.

I just have some old school ccm mountain bike.  I do a lot of trailriding through the bush.  The entire city is connected by trails throught the different sections of forest, for the most part.  I don't bike as much as I should...

...and I'm getting fat  :tongue:

I have a GT i-drive (full suspension). I get about 10 miles per day riding to work. Since I have to go up a main st. I would have to go through 16 traffic lights in a 5 mile stretch. Thus, I can (literally) make it to work just as fast on a bike as I can a car.

I thought about a road bike, but I like the freedom of my mountain bike. I can easily crash through yards, curbs, etc.

This is a pic of my bike (not mine specifically but the same thing).

Good for you.  :thumbup: The bike gets into my top 10 inventions of all time list. I hardly ever drive my car anymore in town. I ride to work rain or shine. I use an old mountain bike. I have another new one which I use for endurance training. I haven't used it in awhile to be honest but I will again. I have a up the mountain ride that takes about 45 minutes. It's a great way to finish the day.
