Any off road bikers here? I have an old huffy(old enough to be made in the USA) that I got- no shocks, wide tires, 26" rims, gears barely work..
Anyway, its a lot of fun to take it to a nearby park with some off-road trails with a friend and just ride around.
Anyone else do this?

Mine has gun/bow/ fishing rack on the handle bars.

OHH Yes!!!!!!!!!! not so long ago I raced road bikes, cyclocross, mountain,and track bicycles really dug 24 hour mountain bike racing!!!! now if I didn't own 12 or 15 high end bicycles,,,,,,,,, I'd get a " Surley Pugsley fat bike" for sure!!!! BTW check these out, fat bikes will take over the woods Soon!! BTW wear a helmet!! JeffW

Down hill mountain bike racing looks like so much fun going miles up a mountain then riding down but I don't have the money to buy the 5000+ bikes specially for that purpose plus all of the gear

you don't need a super friggin awesome modern bike.
Go for a old huffy or schwinn. Really good quality.
Check craigslist- so far me and dad have gotten 3 bikes off of it(all were really good)..
and my current mountian bike is free.
go try some off road trails. England-idawild park, is close to me(well, reasonably), has an amazing frisbee golf course... and has freakin awesome bike trails.
you don't need much. A water bottle, and a wrench...

Did someone say Disc Golf!!!!!!! I friggin love that game!!!! and no you don't need a high end bike to go off road. just be safe and wear a skid lid for your head! JeffW

my husband and I make motorised bikes (we use the beach cruiser style). I was one pulled over by a local cop for doing 60 in a 40 but he gave men a warning it seems the judge would not believe a 60+ woman was pedaling over 60 mph >:D but it was fun zooming past the traffic jam ;D.
These bikes are fun on trails and in the woods but u have to be careful.

Ok Jeanette now we need pics!!! JeffW Please

Hel yeah love it. Use to ride alot then developed carpal tunnel in both hands. I dont ride much any more. :'(

Been riding trails since the 80's! I'm working on a short bow set that I can ride with bow/quiver/knife.
Jeff - I know that bike your talking about. That's what I need down here where I live and all the sugar sand. I saw an article years ago where I guy rode a ridiculous trek through the Australian Outback, probably 1000 miles or something on one of the Surlys with the balloon tires. Awesome photos and story.

JEFF : I wish I had a camers, I had some pics on my verison album but they don't have the album any more. Will try and see what I can do.

I love MTBing! I like doing it the hard way, single speed rigid. I got a Redline Monocog 29er earlier this year that's an absolute blast.

lol my front derailer is the working one...
not much in the way of gearshifting. one-sprocket is more reliable IMO.
