biking anyone?
 

So I picked this two up a couple days ago,and besides my ass being sore I'm enjoying them. One is a specialized hard rock 29er and the other a cheap Kent. I need to buy some gear,like bottle holder and repair stuff.

I haven't had a bike in years and don't know shit about them. I know, noob!

Just picked up a State co. Fixie and my legs are dead :)

Rudson, how do you use yoyr fixie? I wa thinking of getting ine since they are dirt cheap, but i didnt feel like dying lol. I

was sore the first day i rode the Kent, but its also because I was in the park that day playing soccer for like two hours plus. I handt moved that much in years so I was super sore. That was a four mile ride, today I rode through the water canal by my house, so from camelback to glendale ave on dirt and feeling really good. Maybe 5-6 miles? I didn't put my trip meter.

Rudsone*...ruds...one lol. Anyways it's not a true fixed, it's free wheel for now until I get some conditioning. I rode it for 3 miles and my legs were dead! Hadn't had that kind of exercise in years though. Love it so far

Lol I know I fucked it up, too lazy to fix from phone lol. Me too, I was super sore for the first couple of days. It had been forever since I did any exercise, much less ride a bike for any period of time.

But today I rode from Bethany to grand ave, about 11 miles round trip. :thewave:

Yeah it's been a long time since I rode a bike. Love it so far although the "saddle" is kinda small and now my anus is bruised :O but today I'm riding some more maybe up to arrowhead from the i17 and back... and then will eventually go ride with Marc aka downsince85 aka mr dap and his friends :) you're welcome to join!

This is what I picked up off of offerup for $120

Stin1 nice bikes, what attracted yiu to those? They look expensive lol.

These are amazing!

My first race bike was an Elf Doublecross.... nice to see a Kastan Unistrut.

I like the color.I really don't like the colors on mine. But it oh well, maybe one day I'll upgrade.


Soooooooooo tomorrow I'm going MTB at estrella mountain if anybody wants to go. Its going to be my first time so I will be taking it slowish. Were going around 430.

I have a cheap single gear that I cruise around on with my kids. My boys are really getting into it now, where is a good bike park in the East Valley??

Well that was a comlete success, one of the guys took a spill and got a couple scrapes, hut over all it was good fun.

Chandler Bike Park at Espee Park


Desert Trails is so close to my house too



Legit! Thanks

Been trying to go out as much as I can, hopefully three times a week. We're going to start road biking at night do to the heat. So far I've been out MTB four times and I've enjoyed it ALOT, even the time before last when I was dying lol. Also, I realized my bike has hydraulic brakes, so yay.

i fell

That's a kick ass bruise.

So yesterday we where at our local spot, I like to start slow and warm up. Well this time my friend was a in front and I was playing catch up. Maybe 10-15 minutes of uphill riding with no warm up and we stop at the top. I feel like crap, eye sight starting to black out, no light headed just eyes blacking out. Friend is trying to hand me Gatorade gummies, I see my hand but I have little control over it, he thinks I'm playing. Next thing I know, me and the bike are on the ground wondering, why I'm on the ground lol. I passed out. Friend still thinks I'm playing. He realizes I'm not and pours cold water on my head I ate some gummies and we kept going, he wanted to go home but I actually felt great and was leading.

Today, we tried white tanks and did 10 miles round trip. Felt great, he was having a harder time and we had to walk the bikes since the climbs are long and low 2-3 degrees of rise but long. He wasn't feeling too great. We actually barely made if with two liters of water each, we literally ran out of water 5 minutes before we got back to the truck. We still had a couple POWERade as back up. Over all super fun.

I sold my GT Mach1 all original besides the seat and grips im working on one right now...but Im into the bmx type bikes ive been thinking of buyin a speed bike or mountain bike

I want to get into riding around on a bike again lol. I don't have a bike though yet. I look on offer up from time to time for one though

Why do I have to be to heavy to ride a bike :( I wanna join you so bad dammit

:thumbsup: I want to get a mountain bike. Need to save up. I walk my dogs at the mountains off northern and the 51. A lot of riders there.
