I am old enough to have been rattling around the hills of southwest Scotland as a teenager in the mid-late 70s on a skinny tired tourer. A Vindec Vogue since you ask. I knew about the Roughstuff Fellowship but I didn't know about mountain bikes at all at that time , that soon changed. I do want some people to "get it " but although it is selfish of me I certainly don't want everyone to take up mountain biking I like the space and the wilderness
For various tedious reasons I've not ridden much recently, but I still look at every path, bridleway or flight of outside steps as if I was about to go down them on a bike.
I prefer the term 'cyclist' tbh.
If you’re a mountain biker, it doesn’t matter if you live in a city, or don’t actually own a mountain bike right now, or haven’t ridden for a while. You just need to know the joy that it brings and want everyone else to experience it too.
