    Who's into riding bikes around here?

    I work for Schwinn GT and Mongoose, love the bike industry and wanted to see who else on here rides alot. Most of my riding is comuting but really enjoy single track, park riding, and I get out on a road bike just because it's so convienent. Cheers.

    I love going on my bike. I have a 2006 trek 4300, silver/orange. I am planning a big bike trip in WI this summer, you should come with! Its going to be 1 week of biking and camping. Everything you need will have to fit in your packs. no cars along the way for this one.

      I ride

      Got a Trek carbon frame thingy.. NO EPO or HGH too. Something unusual for a cyclist. I prefer running but I am a VO2 junkie. At least on a bike I get to be the engine. And hills are the best. They taste just like chicken.....

        I do a good bit of riding, mostly on my road bike, but take the mtn bike out to some local trails every once and a while to tear it up

          I've got 2 matching 07 fuji nevada mountain bikes - 1 for me and 1 for my wife.

              I used to ride a lot and was trying to get into DH racing on a serious level but the shoulder injuries conflicted with playing violin, which actually MADE me money, unlike the bikes. I've sold a few now but I still have my Rocky Mountain DH/FR bike (RM6 with many upgrades) and my Trek 8000lt XC bike. Back in the day I used to take pride in driving around with $8000 worth of bikes on the roof of a $1000 Volvo...

                          I love riding my road bike. I went on a very cool ride last August in Iowa called RAGBRAI. you ride from the west side to the east side of the state. Something like 480 miles, and just a huge party at every town you stay in.

                          I'm only 21 and I've got really shitty knees. Biking is the best way for me to stay in shape. If I run more than a few miles at a time, then will swell up and ache for a day. Bicycling permits me to do century rides without pain the next day.

                            Wow, alot of riders on here, sorry about the somewhat repost. That week long ride sounds cool but probably wont happen for me, I have almost the entire summer booked.
                            RAGBRAI is huge, a coworker does it every year.
                            One of the best things about riding for me is that I mostly commute by bike to work, probably only put around 3000 miles on the e30 last year.
                            I'll post some pics of my bikes on the other forum. Cheers and hit me up if you need anything, I just might be able to help you out. ;)

                              I like riding bikes with engines in them, does that count?
