so the weight of the bike is good then?
just change tires right?[/quote]

Heavier than a road bike, but more durable.  I commuted in Albuquerque with MTB+Road tires 13 miles each way. It works.  Road bike is more fun, though, on pavement.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Road tires will make it ride better on streets and sidewalks.  Beware - biking uses entirely different muscles - and in different ways - than hiking, running or walking.  Just coz you can hike all day doesn't mean that your in shape to go ride even 5 miles.  Plus, that bike seat will be pretty uncomfy until you've gotten used to it.

Start out slow and your body will thank you and you'll enjoy it more.  

But biking is a great cardio workout that doesn't abuse your knees.  Go for it!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I am unable to afford a NEW BIKE but I do have my daughters mountain bike (sadly still brand new after 4 years)
I was thinking biking might be good as a low impact for my knees
but worry that a mountain bike might be to heavy. I have tried to bike with it but I was very sore after. But I do not know if it is because of the lack of biking or a heavy bike.
anyone have an extra 10 speed?

      <description><![CDATA[cool beans Rich!

rabbit mtn was a fun ride - the initial half mile uphill got my heart pumping and showed me i'm out of shape for biking!  The loop at the top was perfect for a first ride of the season, just enuff technical stuff to keep me on my toes, but not so much that it was &quot;hard&quot; to ride.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I did my first ride of the season outside last evening. I've been riding on an indoor trainer all winter and even though it can't really duplicate every motion of riding outside, it did help. I'm not sore this morning and I was able to do a hard ride with lots of climbing and finish feeling pretty good.

I rode a mountain bike with slicks on the roads, but Thursday evening I'll take my other bike out for a woods ride.]]></description>

Headed to Davidson Mesa (a cruiser, flat double track) and then to Rabbit Ears, single/double track fairly easy (supposedly) on the tech side.

Should be good kick off rides for spring.

      <description><![CDATA[There've been days on the Trek Across Maine when it's reached 100+...
It's really hard riding in those temps and people are pretty quiet.

One year that it was particularly hot, people were really good to us...some had hoses and sprayed us if we wanted, and one guy had a bowl of frozen strawberries and we could grab one as we rode by...people were laying under every shade tree they could find...

People tend to drop out more when it's cold though. We've had one or two Treks like that as well.

Still a good time!

      <description><![CDATA[After a few months of being idle, I finally was able to ride this morning. I am not a person to exercise first thing in the morning. But all week long I was motivated to ride. I gave up my Saturday morning sleep in to go for a ride at 7 AM.

The thing that I hate most about doing a first-day-back type of ride, is that you know it is going to hurt. For me, it usually isn't my muscles, it's my lungs. After just a few miles I was thinking that I would never get back into good riding shape because my lungs had gotten so bad. But a few miles later, my body was over that initial warm up and I felt really good.

Next weekend is already out for me because of scheduling, but I really need to get back in a routine.]]></description>
