Does anyone do this? I bought my first bike since high school the other day

Sounds like a lot of work to be doing while I could be sitting on my couch... pass

Yes, what do you need to know? It’s incredibly fun.

I used to do it back in my 20's, and it was fun on the weekends before a hard night of bar drinking. Then I scraped about a 1/2 inch hole in my elbow and that was about it.

We used to organize bar bike rides and travel 15-20 miles on a Saturday night around Omaha....so not biking in the mountains per se. Just driving street mountain bikes from bar to bar.

What’s a good way to get in to it? Just beginner trails of some sort? What bike do you have

Have someone hold the bike steady for you. Push on the pedals and go! It will take some practice but you'll get it.

There's an upgrade available for those that might be interested in this kind of thing ...

I’m a rural Nebraska guy, so no mountains for me. I just started biking gravel roads. It’s enjoyable for me. I have close to 150 miles logged since March 1st.

I bought a Surly Bridge Club in January. If shopping for a bike in Lincoln area, check out Monkey Wrench Cycles. Good dudes that like bikes.
