Bike Riding

[ImCoolBeans]

So I've been riding my bike a little bit recently and I plan on continuing to do so. Do we have any avid cyclists here?

I hadn't ridden my bike in about a year, when my older friends began to start driving I stopped. I realized that when I got back on the bike I kind of sucked at riding it :P It was almost like I had to get it back down again.

Did you ride your bike more often as a kid?
Do you still ride it often?
If so, how often?
How long of a ride do you take usually and how far can you go?

I ride my bike every Saturday! It's a great way to keep in shape and build up your leg muscles.

Did you ride your bike more often as a kid?
Not really

Do you still ride it often?
I think i've only ridden on it like 3 times this year... ._.

How long of a ride do you take usually and how far can you go?
Well, I really only use it for commuting when I feel it's not worth the $1.75 to take the bus to my location (usually because it's so close to home). So normally, just around the southern region of my city. I've gone down to my neighboring cities and Stanford University, though.

I probably should ride my bike more often, but hey, if I have multiple bus lines at my fingertips and it's not costing me a cent, why ride my bike when I can kick back for a bit? :P

Yeah I use my bike a lot, usually as transport not for fun. Where I live we have good public transport but the bike is often better for anything up to a few miles. I would cycle to school all the time but the traffic on the route is really really dangerous (My parents stopped me when they heard I was getting so annoyed I was kicking cars :rolleyes:)

I actually ride it every day to go to the leisure centre which is under a mile away from where I live, so my parents don't have to worry about driving me at stupid o'clock in the morning.

The farthest I've cycled in one go is only about 4 miles because that is the distance to my school.

I ride my bike a lot, I'm really into mountain biking.

I have a haro x2 (pro BMX bike) and I bike at least 1.5 - 2 miles a day because I go to gas stations with friends and get soda or energy drinks. But once I get my car in 14 months I will probably stop.

Did you ride your bike more often as a kid? Yes. But my bike had training wheels....always did till I stopped riding a bike completely.
Do you still ride it often? No; I have balance problems, so I can't ride a bike.

I cycle a lot :) I do it for the sport... I did a 110km race in 4 hours and 2 minutes so that's an average speed of around 27-28kp/h :) Although I mainly stick to the mountains to mountain bike... I cycle a lot more now compared to back when I was a kid

Not an avid cyclist nowadays, but back 3-5 years ago I road my bike to school, and back,
also did some trails, pretty fun back then. I still feel pretty competent when it comes to riding bikes.

Did you ride your bike more often as a kid? Yeah quite a bit
Do you still ride it often? Not as often. Usually to get to mums/dads/friends houses when my parents can't take me.
If so, how often? Maybe twice a month now, really depends.
How long of a ride do you take usually and how far can you go? I think I've done about 15-20 miles before, not long at all. Going to my friends takes about an hour, probably less when it's not boiling hot.

My dad likes to take us into the forest for bike rides but since he broke up with his ex he hasn't forced us too so much, woop lol

Did you ride your bike more often as a kid? No.
Do you still ride it often? Yes.
If so, how often? Daily.
How long of a ride do you take usually and how far can you go? I ride for transport. Lately I've been riding 0.9mi to school and 1.1mi to the library for acting.

If I'm taking a ride for fun I normally ride for 4 hours nonstop, averaging around 20mph, for whatever distance. I don't keep track of the distance. I don't really care.

For transport it's usually averaging 25mph to wherever as fast as possible because I'm impatient.

Did you ride your bike more often as a kid? No.
Do you still ride it often? Of course.
If so, how often? Next to all the time. x3
How long of a ride do you take usually and how far can you go? I take anywhere from a 30 minute to an hour ride. I have a lot of energy, so I can go on forever.

[Sleepy Raisin]

Did you ride your bike more often as a kid? Ohh yeah!!
Do you still ride it often? Not really
If so, how often? Probably 1 a month
How long of a ride do you take usually and how far can you go? I can ride about 13-14 miles

I've been doing a lot of XC stuff on my bike lately, I joined up for an 80km ride for charity throughout a local national park and I was able to knock that out in just under three hours. I used to race downhill but injuries have stopped me competing, but I still do casual downhill which generally will be an all day ride at a MTB park hitting tracks.
