I recently bought pic related, which is an entry level mountain bike. I have been taking it on all of the local trails I normally hike on. I live in New England, which means that most of our trails are windy trails with lots of roots and rocks. This has been a very enjoyable way to experience the outdoors, especially going downhill. Does anybody else mountainbike here?

Hikers are either afraid of me or admiring me when I ride by
