According to Hubby, there are 3 types of mountain bikers.
Type 1People who fully utilised their VTT (velo tout terrain - in French means bicycle for all terrains [hehe, direct translation]), and associate themselves with these words -> offroads, sweat, dirt & mud, mozzies, uphills & downhills, etc.
My Say: Tiring but fun. Worth the energy spent riding uphill when you know there is 100 Plus waiting on top!Type 2People who are caught between mountain biking and roadie status. This is either they are finding riding offroad too tough and prefers to ride on tarmacs (eg. highway) which is much easier as the surface is flat or they do not want to get their bikes dirty.
My Say: It doesn't matter what you rode on but riding on highways is dangerous as chances are you will get hit by vehicles. It is much healthier to ride offroad as you will be breathing fresh air and surrounded by greeneries.Type 3People who rides their mountain bikes in the parks for leisure or for the sake of still would like to continue to do their routine rides but cannot go offroad because of buttock pain.
My Say: I still remember my college mates invited me for cycling in a park near Bandar Tun Razak. They mentioned that since I love cycling so much, why don't I join them and they can also rent a bike at the park. Sorry, thanks but no thanks. For taman riders, why spend so much on your bike where you can just rent?
