Hi Guys, Great site, thanks. I will be over in San Diego next month from the UK for a couple of weekends and am looking to hire a bike and ride some interesting trails. Can any one offer good advice on where to hire and ride? Some where XC with a bit of tech would be good but busy as will most likely be riding alone. Many thanks, Jerry

The people are losing their moral while becoming modern. The society needs to be attentive that moral values. Well things needs to be modernized but keeping intact with moral values. As addiction is spoiling the atmosphere of the world to a great extent.Drug Strategies, the definitive site for help with drug and alcohol addiction, in Hawaii Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Centers and Rehabilitation Programs are providing good services to bring the addicted person from filthy atmosphere of drugs.

This has to be the niftiest site I have seen so far this year. I can't believe it took me nearly a year to come across it. The input from riders is fabulous. I hope it's okay for me to be here. I am a bicycle retailer here in So Cal and came across this looking for my own site. Imagine my suprise when I saw reviews of my shop! Being new to this industry has left me at a bit of a disadvantage, however if MyBikeSite doesn't mind I'd love to browse around here and hopefully learn some new things.

When I first hiked these switchbacks with my mom I didn't like them but later on i learned to appreciate the Turnbull hills.For months,we have discovered other new and exciting trials and that is why we love to come here on Saturdays.It is a very good way to release stress and to heal yourself mentally and spiritually.Furthermore,my mom and I hope that they won't close or change these trials(only to clean up the roads even if they are narrow or wide). And please no more dogs people!

My three sons showed me some stretched limo bikes on the internet, and said that was what they wanted for their birthdays.

My first project was this 16" *Super-Stretch Limo* http://static.flickr.com/22/35013775_484e6720be.jpg Project#2 is a similar, but a much different concept.(This bike is the 20" version that I'm building for my self,) Saturday, I pick up the bent springer front end...

A couple of weeks ago I happened across a Specialized Rock Hopper in near mint condition in a trash dumpster. All the components work except i needed a new chain due to rust. It's a hard tail w/no suspension in front. I don't even know what year this model is. Anyway, does anyone have any advice for a way "green" beginner.

Just yesterday I met up with a really cool guy who emailed me regarding riding the Fully Loop, and we rode the loop together, I now have a new riding bud thanks to this site.

I frequently ride in Orange County and Long Beach and found a cool website to get meals on the road. Every restaurant has a map, driving directions and best of all a money saving coupon! Check it out it is totally free! I used 2 coupons on my last ride. http://www.dineoutcoupons.com

Hey people.......is anyone here going to the Wango Tango concert at Dodgers Stadium on June 16th or 17th? Some killer artists are playing like the Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin, Jessica Simpson, Nelly Furtado, Aerosmith, American Hi Fi, Vertical Horizon, Dream, Eden's Crush, Bee Gees and Christina Aguilera, and there are still tons of tickets left!!! I thought the concert would've sold out in like 5 minutes but I guess it hasn't cause I got tickets no problem. If you live close, a concert like this is worth the drive.......trust me!!!

A recommended ride, if you don't mind walking up the steep rocky parts getting up to the top of the mesa.

i love my bike i love the trails, the skills, the adrenilin and the freedom, it's all good and i'm in harmony with myself and nature, i would hope that i can always do this sport til i'm eighty, i dream and think about it whenever i'm not on my bike flying down hillsides or off rocks and trees, (hey people hit trees, fact of life!! :) i love the kooky culture, commradery, the respect of the truly awe of feeling alive, that exists amongst bikers, all this is soo good as i become one with the bike and with the earth the ok but i gotta say to that guy who nicely ranted about how we kill ecosystems and going on about his alabrem whipsnake oi try it before you smack it with the evilstick, has he ever felt the beauty of the in tune ride where everything connects and you know your place on the face of the earth to be free of responiblities, school and world politicians playing north korean rolette with nuclear bombs? ever had the urge to get away from it all and find your little place of sanctuary spinning your wheels down a trail? until he does that and respects it for the beautiful thing it is, stay put in front of the tv, yes people get hurt, bad and slight, yes we probably destroy the environment a little, but so do hikers and bears, gonna keep the bears from destroying the whipsnake's habitat? ohh and he didn't bother to really mention that there is a lot we do, how 'bout imba's rules of the trail, he ever read them? he ever been on a work crew that goes and restore the trails every spring, he ever had a biker give him a friendly wave as the biker rode by him at a nice slow speed all and all actually think that guy should watch his back because bikers do a lot of good, they are covering a lot of mostly unchecked trails on a regular basis, they would be one of the first to notice a spill or fire or something that was severly wronged, that's a good sounding reason for us to be there:) and plus if that guy wants his whipsnake's habitat to be preserved from the concrete of urban sprawl, bikers are pretty possessive of their trails, they would be another big group that would cry out against development, want some nuts protesters? yah i'll hug a tree for my trails, keep it real in there, but there is the badassness we gotta keep in check, hikers don't feel so bad if you take the thirty seconds to slow down around them and say a cheerful hi and all, if you don't and whip by making soiled pants, then they gonna be so much more anti-mountain biker, gonna wanna restrict us off more trails, totally ambassador the sport, make it harder to keep us on the trails so play nice with others, eh, but i say long live the knobby tired and the gravity defying, hail to the mountain biker who makes all well by his rubber and pipes of geometric harmony, hail most of all to centrifical force and momentum:) and to the mojo of power, thanks be to the god of the mountain bike who smiles upon his children of the lycra who run wild in the forest and most of all i say canada kicks ass!!!! ride on my brothers and the world is my playground, hog the slide:) ahahaha word out:)

The Effects of Mountain Biking on Wildlife and People -- Why Off-Road Bicycling Should be Prohibited Michael J. Vandeman, Ph.D. May 31, 1997 Mountain biking is a relatively new sport. According to a mountain biking (MTB) web page (http://www.mtb-bike.com), "The commercial Mountain Bike evolution didn't start until 1974 and its first production bikes didn't appear in stores until about 10 years later". (Lower gearing, fat, knobby tires, sturdier construction, but particularly the sealed bearing -- which could be ridden in dirt without getting destroyed -- are what made "mountain" (off- road) bicycling possible.) Partly for this reason, and partly because the MTB is, from one point of view, just a special case of an ORV (off-road vehicle), environmentalists and scientists have been slow to study and recognize the special threat that the mountain bike represents to wildlife. Although there are many studies of ORVs, I am not aware of any solid scientific studies specifically on MTBs and their effects on wildlife. To most environmentalists, bicycles have always been the epitome of good. We are so used to comparing bikes to cars, that it never occurred to us that the bicycle would be ever used for anything bad. Indeed, replacing motor vehicles with bicycles deserves our adoration. But anything can be used for good or evil, and using bikes to expand human domination of wildlife habitat is clearly harmful. Human beings think they own every square inch of the Earth, and that they therefore have the right to do what they want with it. This is, of course, absurd. It is also the reason that we are losing species at an unforgivable rate: we have crowded wildlife out of its habitat. Even in our parks, where we have vowed to protect wildlife, it is not protected from hikers, equestrians, park "managers", firefighters, mountain bikers, airplanes, helicopters, cars, roads, concessionaires, or biologists. Thus, the primary reason that mountain bikes are harmful to wildlife is that they, like other technological aids (cars, skis, rafts, rock- climbing equipment, etc.), make it much easier for people to get into wildlife habitat. (Sadly, most people have forgotten that the only thing that makes parks worth visiting is the wildlife that live there: it is _____ precisely the wildlife (and paucity of humans) that make a park a _________________________________________________________________ park. Without wildlife (i.e., all nonhuman, nondomesticated species ____ -- plants as well as animals), the parks would be boring piles of bare rock.) Biology _______ First and most obvious, mountain bikes kill organisms that live on and under the soil: "When it comes to pure recreational destructiveness, ... off-road vehicles (ORVs) far surpass powerboats. ... It is a rare environment indeed where a vehicle can be taken off-road without damage. ... Standard ORVs with their knobby tires are almost ideal devices for smashing plant life and destroying soil. Even driven with extreme care, a dirt bike will degrade about an acre of land in a twenty-mile drive. ... Not only do the ORVs exterminate animals by exterminating plants, they attack them directly as well. Individual animals on the surface and in shallow burrows ... are crushed. ... One great problem with ORVs ___________________________ is that they supply easy access to wilderness areas for _______________________________________________________ unsupervised people who have ... no conception of the damage they _________________________________________________________________ are doing" (Ehrlich and Ehrlich, pp.169-171; emphasis added). _________ (Although mountain bikes were hardly known when this was written, it is obvious that the same applies to them.) Recently, one of the largest Alameda whipsnakes (a California threatened species) ever found was killed by a mountain biker in Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve near here. Others have been killed on other East Bay regional parks. Kathryn Phillips in Tracking the Vanishing Frogs described how ORVs crossing creeks ____________________________ crush toads and their eggs (both buried in the sand). Bikes are generally ridden too fast to avoid killing small animals. Obviously, the animals didn't evolve in the presence of mountain bikes, and can't be expected to deal very effectively with such quiet, fast-moving objects. Even hikers can kill small animals, if they aren't careful. The one time I went to look for an Alameda whipsnake, I almost stepped on one, which was lying in grass growing in the trail, and didn't move until I had almost stepped on it. Soils are extremely complex communities of living organisms. They sometimes are very fragile and once destroyed take decades to be recreated (e.g. desert cryptogamic soil). Soil destruction is hastened by acceleration (braking, speeding up, climbing, and turning, which apply horizontal forces to the soil), by tire lugs, which break the surface, and by water, which softens the soil and makes it easier to demolish. In the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), "park officials noted serious erosion problems on certain steep narrow trails and determined that restricting bicycle use would slow such erosion. [They] noted that on narrow trails bicyclists passing other users would either leave the trail or force the other users off the trail to the detriment of off-trail vegetation and wildlife. ... Downhill bicycle travel on steep slopes is usually accompanied by braking and often by skidding which tends to push dislodged surface gravels into ditches, water bars, and drains. Heavy bicycle use on steep trails usually requires that these ditches, water bars, and drains be cleared more frequently than those used by hikers and equestrians only. ... Park staff and visitors reported that bicyclists on these ... trails often skidded to control their speed, slid off of trails on sharp turns, or cut across off-trail areas at certain 'switch-backs'" (Bicycle Trails Council of Marin v. Bruce Babbitt). Mud containing seeds and spores sticks to bike tires, thereby often carrying species of plants into areas where they had not existed (becoming "exotics"). This is worsened by the fact that bicycles travel long distances, and are often carried to distant locations (sometimes even foreign countries) by motor vehicle. It is well known that such exotic species can cause havoc when introduced into new habitats. Most of us were raised to believe that "non-consumptive" recreation is harmless to wildlife. We are taught to enjoy ourselves in nature, guilt-free, as long as we don't directly harm wildlife. However, recent research, and the huge scale of current recreation activities, have discredited this idea. "Traditionally, observing, feeding, and photographing wildlife were considered to be 'nonconsumptive' activities because removal of animals from their natural habitats did not occur.... nonconsumptive wildlife recreation was considered relatively benign in terms of its effects on wildlife; today, however, there is a growing recognition that wildlife-viewing recreation can have serious negative impacts on wildlife" (Knight & Gutzwiller, p.257). In other words, the mere presence of people is often harmful ________ to wildlife, and the more, the worse. "The notion that recreation has no environmental impacts is no longer tenable. Recreationists often degrade the land, water, and wildlife resources that support their activities by simplifying plant communities, increasing animal mortality, displacing and disturbing wildlife, and distributing refuse" (ibid, p.3) "Recreational disturbance has traditionally been viewed as most detrimental to wildlife during the breeding season. Recently, it has become apparent that disturbance outside of the animal's breeding season may have equally severe effects" (p.73) "People have an impact on wildlife habitat and all that depends on it, no matter what the activity" (p.157); "Perhaps the major way that people have influenced wildlife populations is through encroachment into wildlife areas" (p.160). "Outdoor recreation has been recognized as an important factor that can reduce biosphere sustainability.... Indeed, recreational activities, including many that may seem innocuous, can alter vertebrate behaviour, reproduction, distributions, and habitats" (p.169). Knight & Gutzwiller's book contains numerous specific examples of how these negative effects are created. We may not know what the organisms are thinking, but the effect is that they die, are forced to expend extra energy that may be in short supply, become more susceptible to predation, or are forced to move to less suitable habitat, losing access to preferred foods, mates, nesting sites, etc. Since most of us live safely in the midst of plenty, it is hard for us to understand wildlife's predicament. We are flexible enough to survive almost anywhere; they are not. Often they have no other place to live. None of the existing "studies" on mountain biking evaluate its effects on wildlife. They are usually concerned only with visible effects on the trail. In Tilden Regional Park, there are three separate, heavily used mountain biking trails through the middle of supposedly protected Alameda whipsnake habitat areas! "Displaced animals are forced out of familiar habitat and must then survive and reproduce in areas where they are not familiar with the locations of food, shelter, and other vital resources.... Hammitt and Cole ... ranked displacement as being more detrimental to wildlife than harassment or recreation-induced habitat changes.... Densities ... of 13 breeding bird species were negatively associated with the intensity of recreation activity by park visitors, primarily pedestrians and cyclists" (ibid, pp.173- 4); "off-road vehicles can collapse burrows of desert mammals and reptiles" (p.176). Sociology _________ Hikers, especially the elderly, have been abandoning their favorite trails, due to bikers that scare them, hit them, harass them, and destroy the serenity of the parks. Parks are supposed to be a refuge from the crush of humanity and the noise, danger, and artificiality of urban areas. Why bring to our parks the very _______________________________ things that most people go there to escape?! There is absolutely ____________________________________________ nothing wrong with bicycling, in its proper setting (on a road). It is a wonderfully healthful activity. But wildlife is already in _______ danger due to loss of habitat (worldwide, one quarter of all animals are threatend with extinction, according to the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources)). It can't afford to lose any more. And people have very similar needs for being in nature. Our elderly are like wildlife, in that they have nowhere else to go for the experience of nature that they are accustomed to. By definition, hiking trails are the minimum size necessary for a person to hike (approx. 18 inches wide), since they are supposed to have a minimal impact on the environment. They aren't wide enough for a bicyclist to safely pass a hiker or another bicyclist. Mixing bikers and hikers is dangerous for both. In fact, mountain biking is also dangerous for lone riders, since hiking trails don't follow a predictable pattern and have very short sight distances (the distance that one can see ahead on the trail). Emergency room doctors report that a large percentage of mountain bikers incur serious accidents. "The record includes hundreds of letters from park users recounting stories of collisions or near misses with speeding or reckless bicyclists on all kinds of trails but particularly on steep and narrow trails. Hikers and bird watchers repeatedly told how they have been forced off of trails by speeding bicycles and how they have had their peace and solitude on the trails interrupted by bicycles that -- because they are quiet and fast -- seemed to appear out of nowhere and be immediately upon the hikers and other users. Equestrians told how their horses have been startled by speeding or oncoming bicycles and have become restless, on several occasions even throwing and injuring experienced riders. Though most users admitted that the great majority of bicyclists were polite and safety-conscious, letters from hikers, equestrians, bird watchers, joggers, and other users also repeatedly recounted incidents of rudeness, threats, and altercations when they have complained to an offending bicyclist about dangerous conduct. Park staff also reported having received such complaints. ... NPS's [National Park Service's] finding that user conflict and visitor danger would be reduced by limiting bicycle trail access in GGNRA was supported by ample evidence. ... Notwithstanding the responsible user, bicycles are often perceived by other users as a disruptive influence on park trails. Although most of the few reported bicycle accidents in the park involve only single individuals, letters and reports from hikers and equestrians tell of many close calls and confrontational and unsettling experiences". "No single-track trails [in the Marin Headlands] were found suitable for bicycle use" (Bicycle Trails Council v. Bruce Babbitt). Since bicycles require wider trails, parks now often use bulldozers to create and maintain those trails, vastly increasing their impacts. In Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve in Oakland, California, a new trail was created by means of a "small" (6 foot blade) bulldozer. But it rolled off the trail and had to be rescued by a much bigger bulldozer. The existence of bicyclists on trails also forces park rangers to police the trails using motor vehicles (cars or motorcycles), since it is the only way they can hope to catch them! This also increases negative impacts on wildlife. Children learn mostly nonverbally (by watching adults and other children). Mountain biking is bad role modeling for them, since it teaches them that human domination and destruction of wildlife habitat is normal and acceptable. Mountain bikers like to claim that excluding them from trails constitutes "discrimination". They say that other user groups (hikers and equestrians) receive better treatment from land managers. There is no basis for such a claim, since all users are subject to exactly the same rules. For example, on a trail closed to bikes, everyone is allowed on the trail -- only the bikes are ________ _____ excluded! In spite of what they claim, mountain bikers have never ______ been excluded from any trail! Even if my way of "enjoying" the wilderness is to race my bulldozer there, I am not allowed to do that. And this is not because land managers like hikers more than bulldozer racers. I am not being excluded from the wilderness; I can go there whenever I want, as long as I don't try to bring my __________________________________ bulldozer with me. It is only the bulldozer that is excluded, which _________________ _____ is due to its effects on wildlife and people. ____________________________________________ If mountain bikers were actually being discriminated against, they could sue park managers for access to every trail that others are allowed on. On the contrary, the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Bicycle Trails Council v. Bruce Babbitt) concluded that the National Park Service has the right to ban bikes from trails. "All units of the National Parks [are] to be treated consistently, with resource protection the primary goal". "All bicycle use of off-road areas [is] prohibited unless local park superintendents [designate] particular trails to be open" (bicyclists were contesting this rule). "Routes may only be designated for bicycle use based on a written determination that such use is consistent with the protection of the park area's natural, scenic and aesthetic values, safety considerations and management objectives and will not disturb wildlife or park _________________________ resources". "The Park Service is empowered with the authority to determine what uses of park resources are proper and what proportion of the park's resources are available for each use". "The use of bicycles is allowed in park areas under the same basic _________________________________________________________________ conditions as are motor vehicles, i.e. on park roads, in parking ________________________________________________________________ areas, and on routes designated for their use. ... certain ______________________________________________ limitations on their use are necessary and appropriate in the interest of public safety, resource protection, and the avoidance of visitor conflict" [emphasis added]. Clearly, bikes are not being banned from trails because land managers like hikers and equestrians more! As people, mountain bikers are indistinguishable from other park users. It is the bikes _____ that we object to, and not even the bikes, but their presence in ___________ natural areas. Banning bikes is simply a humane way of protecting _____________ our natural areas, while allowing all users equal access to enjoy them. Thus, whether bikers or hikers or equestrians are more harmful to wildlife (they all are, of course) is irrelevant. ___ __________ Restricting bicycle access is a way of reducing human impacts on wildlife and wildlife habitat. The Case of Brown's Woods _________________________ Brown's Woods, one of the last stands of native forest in central Iowa (southwest of DesMoines), illustrates these issues. It was saved from logging and development in 1972 by the S. E. Polk (High School) Ecology Club and their sponsor, biology teacher, Kirk Brill, for which they won a national award. Motorized vehicles were banned, "because of the threat they posed to the environment and to persons walking there" (Wayne Bills, Polk County Conservation Board (PCCB) Executive Director, 1972). The students worked hard to earn money to build two miles of bike trails through the preserve. However mountain bikers illegally built 4 1/2 additional miles of trail ("bikers have gouged more than six miles of trail, up to 30 feet wide and a foot or more deep in spots" (Loren Lown, PCCB Natural Resources Specialist, 1996)). Wildlife were disappearing, elderly hikers were driven out, and vegetation was destroyed. "Already the bikers have caused permanent irreparable damage to this pristine area" (Ben Van Gundy, PCCB Director). It was called "ecological vandalism". Last year, once again, Brill and his students were forced to campaign to save the preserve, this time from mountain bikers, and won, getting a unanimous vote of the PCCB for a "total and permanent ban on the use of mountain bikes" in Brown's Woods. Millions of mountain bikes are being sold every year around the world. Let's not wait till "bikers have caused permanent irreparable damage" to our other natural areas! We can't eliminate all environmental damage, but we can eliminate frivolous, ___ ___ unnecessary damage. True civilization is characterized by restraint. "It is expected that outdoor recreational activity will continue to increase, while the amount of wild land where wildlife may seek refuge from disturbance will decrease" (Knight and Gutzwiller, p.327); "Recreationists are, ironically, destroying the very thing they love: the blooming buzzing confusion of nature.... The recreation industry deserves to be listed on the ____________________________________________________ same page with interests that are cutting the last of the old- ______________________________________________________________ growth forests, washing fertile topsoils into the sea, and pouring __________________________________________________________________ billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere" (p.340; ________________________________________________________ emphasis added); "Tom Birch ... argues that wilderness managers, charged with incarcerating wilderness, are more concerned with the advancement of their careers through achieving quantifiable goals (number of park visitors, total revenues) and developing park and forest amenities (roads, 'scenic' turnouts, restrooms, paved trails, maps, campgrounds) than with perpetuating the land community of which they are a part" (p.344). Ideally, we should be working to reduce all human access to ___ wildlife habitat. But at the very least, we should eliminate mechanical access (with the exception of small compromises for __________ _____ wheelchairs). References: Bicycle Trails Council of Marin v.

DOWNHILL RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave a 14 year old Downhiller,

- Saturday, January 01, 2000 at 06:49:59 [PST]

I wanna start off by saying that you all hicks suck. Bunch of dick wads and conservative pricks. Downhillers rule and we will kick in more ways than you can count with your fingers and limbs. We will eat you for lunch, hot or cold. I don't care how fat we are but that just gives us room in our gut to shove you down. We will rule. When you 40-something XC riders preaches on us on how to ride properly in the trails, we will bitch-slap you with our 40 odd something pounds of pure mass of a downhill bikes. We will bend and wrap your ultra light thin foil of a XC bike around your neck and make you walk back to your yuppy mobile. We will rule. We will make everything technical in the trails make you wish you're hiking instead. We won't say "on your left." We'd rather say "you should have gotten outta way, punk!" Ge out of our way! Now! The industry grows because of downhilling. We will eat you like pasta, like the spokes on Spox. We'll have your titanium parts for deserts. We'll bat you around with our straight gauage 6061-t6 parts. We will kill if needed to rid of sissy XCers. We will rule! We will reign! We will drown in our victorious quest! We shall rise! Now let's have some beer.

I am not sure I have an answer, but several messages are quite far from being trail descriptions. Do these guys need a special chat room, bulletin board or maybe a challenge hill climb?

Two months ago, life was grand. Things in life seemed to headed in the right direction. My grilfriend and I had a nice summer getaway. It was our last one to that fact and it was a very close and comforting excursion. Sign of good things to come for us. We spent the weekend riding and playing around with our bikes. A week later, I found out she was cheating on me. This broke my heart as well as my will to pursue the good things in life. Over five years together, I looked upon her as my friend, lover and confidante. Now, we don't even talk nor communicate in what form. I wonder if she could hear in her sleep while she's on someone else's arms. I know I must move on any sensible person would otherwise suggest. But having loved someone for so long, time is only the answer. There is not one day that goes by that I don't think about her. Every full moon, every sunflower brings back the bonds that brought us together. I feel like I'm committing a grave sin by just trying to forget about her. How could I possibly forget her now? When I see her Schwinn resting against the very wall that she once checked the bike over, it shatters me. Each time I ride, I always think and say to myself, "Oh these beautiful things, I wish she was here to see these with me." I sometimes feel like there's a shadow of laughter behind me when I ride. A shadow laughing at me, "you miserable sod." I just keep pedaling. I know ride hills I once abhored because I'm so pre-occupied. I guess I'm living in the past. Now I wonder, what have I done to deserve this? I was faithful all these years. I worked on trails. I did wrong to nobody. Is this just a test? Two months later, I ride to be at peace with myself. Riding and riding with people is the bond that holds me together. Outside of that, I'm just an average looking joe who looks happy. I am getting good at pretending. I can be ok and norma, bt when the dust and remains of the day settles, I find myself completely alone. Alone in the sense that I don't feel at home. Love should be natural and real, but not for me. So when you ride on trails and look at other riders' eyes, do you really see yourself in them? Riding in joyous abandon. Or are they just like me, riding as an escape from misery..of love and life, even stress. "My heart is broke. Do you have some glue? Help me inhale and mend it with you." Send Me the pillow, the one you dream on....

Please stop scorning us downhillers just because we have a little bit more adrenaline than the rest of you lycra geeks. I'm a women and just gotten into downhilling. I get a lot of snobbish remarks from people, especially from the older kegs, regarding my choice of riding style. It's a lifestyle. I don't care if you all ride hardtails and stick to what you all claimed to be "the real essence of mountain biking." Why? Just riding on a hardtail makes you a real mountain biker? No! We wear loose fitting clothing and you all shriek and say, you're putting shame on this sport. It's life! And likelife, things will come up and out in your face and you won't like it. But what can you do? Well, do us a favor, kill yourself and that will resolve your problem. Downhilling is here to stay. Another beef I have is for women to get their asses off their knitting chair and ride. Another of chivalry for men, let your girl ride the better bike. One trend I notice lately is that when a couple hits the trail, i see the stud riding a fully loaded bike while the girl rides the wal-mart brand...mainly, a rigid bike. How can you expect your girl to appreciate the beauty of riding when they start out on a less enjoyable bike. Pamper her and teach her the right ways. Don't preach just assist. We'll pick up the slack along the way. Leave us alone on the trail. Stop being so freaking cute and all because most of the time me and riding buddies could care less about you and your smuck tactics of trying to be a suave. It's like riding uphills on a group ride..shut the hell up and just ride. There are times to chat and flirt, like say, the parking lot. I love southern california. because biking down there is not as religious as it is up here in norcaL. You sissy posers. Exceptions go to the DHers because they all let it hang out. I get kicks just talking to dhillers in socals than riding 20 or so miles with XC geeks. I think the problem is that riders in SOcal have an identity problem. They just don't have a proper niche. Especially the girls. Women here are more dedicated and actually show up in races than chicks I know and observe in SoCal. Fun is hard to get a feel of in SoCal bec people are so uptight. Vain. Conceited. People freakin ride here with just shirts on. Regular shirts. Unlike a jersey prerequisite in Socal..not generally but a lot of times I've experienced. How many people went to big bear? did you notice all the girls? they're all pimping out. Why is that? That sickens me. I feel a lot more stronger than most any other girl out there right now. I know whaT the hell i'm capable of and I know what limits I would go to prove them. Change of topic. This site is cool but I think it's a hell out of date. People barely respond to postings and people don't know too much about technical stuff. Site's still one of the better sites for socal riders but I think the main layout is not even comparable to MTBR.com. Thanks god the music is rid of..is it. That really pissed the living boobs out of me. What about the racers forum? Non-active. Why? People in Socal slouch and are lazy lardy bastards. But damn, the burritos are awesome though. Why do they call do taco shops here in NorCal taquerias? THEY ARE TACO SHOPS! Get the fact straight. In San Deigo, there are more taco shops per square footage than anywhere else. Now food choice isn't gonna be an issue now would it? That's a dilenma here in NorCal. Mex food sucks. I'm out

Do you get this feeling that biking is all there is to think about? I mean, one sunny day, 70 degrees or warmer kind of day in southern california, instead of riding your ass off, you'd just stare at your ride and wonder how you can better it? When you actually ride on the trail, you wonder if putting an XTR cogset would further enhance the way you climb that sucker of a hill? Or if you're not wearing something that match, you assume that this won't be a great riding day. Do you watch at races and see a pro ride a bike you think is the ride that's gonna elevate you to the podium? Then you actually bought the bike and realized that the bike was too stiff for your liking? Does it bother you when someone tells you that you've spent way too much time and effort on biking in a week period without actually logging in enough time on the dirt? Do you go out on a park and ride your bike among the common lay and do you think of yourself as a higher being because you're riding a custom bike? Much less, just because you have a front suspension? Do you ever have any moment with your girlfriend or wife without uttering a word about biking? Do you think the bikers in Northern California are such hypocrites? Do you think they are all hippies who need to take a well-deserved shaving and a shower? Does it occur to you that when people refer to your sport as an extreme activity but nonetheless enjoy being above them? Do you often wonder ho good a car on the freeway would look like if it had a bike roof rack? Do you feel giddy when you other vehicles in a random highway, street, bypass, byway, causeway, avenue, etc., which have nountain biking related stickers emblazoned on their bumpers, rear panel or windows? Do you ever think that Pacific Blue is a good representation of MTB for you and not for the bike industry? Do you think you mean a lot being just a sole rider in a trail that is about to be rendered closed to bikers? Do you buy your grocery with biking in mind? Do you drive and look at the wilderness and think of riding? Do you think of having sex while riding and yet can't get a hard-on? Or do you get a hard on and looses focus and interest in riding when you see a hot person (male or female) out on the trail? Do you care that your bike really is outdated? Or you're just a retrogrouch and things could never get better than the innovations you have looked up to the 6 years ago? Do you think Mountain Biking is your religion? Do you think at all?

Fantastic site. The only thing I would add would be a bike review page similar to your LBS review page. Have riders/site visitors comment on the bikes and parts they own and use for the consumer who may be considering such items. Although I like reading the reviews in mags, it seems (for advertising dollars) they give darn near everything a 'good ride' rating. At least here it could be a touch more honest and less $ driven.

I know this deal more with a trail access issue. But, I think that all cyclists, road, mtb, recumb, ect. need to stick together. Keep the good work up and your wheels down.

Awesome site! You guys are cleanin'! I just switched from skinny tires to knobbies, and now I spend my lunch hour pruning Joshua trees. This site has given me so much useful information and encouragement, I feel a little better about all my captain's crashes in the parking lot, and wear my bacon with pride.

This site is cool because I like to ride mountain bikes. I've been on Sycamore Canyon trail and many others. Wherever you bike ride don't plan on China Flats Trail it is steep! So steep that I fell a couple times. I would only recomend hiking or mountain climbing it.

Oh Mama, you guys in the mountains are so fucking lucky, my country is just to flat for real mountainebiking so we got fucking hills made of garbage and covered with mud and grass . So watch out when I've finished school I'm coming your way.
