Definitely somebody does, those things are whizzing all over our local trails. I wish they would slow the hell down so they could enjoy the scenery!

I have never owned a proper mountain bike. At this point, if I had one I know I wouldn't put enough miles on it to make it worth the storage.

The last time I specifically used a bike to ride trails, was on a scouting ride for the 2003 MUni Weekend at Rockville Hills Park. I thought the bike would enable me to cover more ground in a given amount of time. But mostly it just ended up sucking (it wasn't a very good bike).

Oh, and I rented a mountain bike to ride down Northstar after wearing out my knee on a scouting ride two weeks before the 2004 MUni Weekend. That sucked too. But in this case it was because I tried to follow Zack, Jess and Jack Hughes down one of the super-gnarly trails that's real hard on a unicycle, let alone a mid-line dualie that I've never ridden before...
