Any roadies here ride MTBs?

[User16625]

I got a road bike and a mountain bike. Sometimes I really dont feel like road riding and find it very enjoyable to get high up and ride along some cliffs. Makes a great change. View is slightly better too.

(10,000th!! thats a lot)

Yes I have a road bike and mountain bike, yes it does make a change to get out on the mountain bike up and down the hills and through the mud

I ride a MTB - still waiting for my roadie. Don't think it will change either. Love my MTB for a leisurely ride or a trip to the shops

I go into the Snowdon Mountains every summer with a good mate and blast a few trails. Great change from the roadbike that I ride three or four times a week all year round. Upper body gets a much harder workout using a mtb than on the roadie as well.

I have both; prefer the road bike but use the MTB occasionally, like today when it was raining heavily

Have both, love both.

Both, but my fixie does get more use.Just added mudguards and panniers to the MTB to make it more usable as a heavy duty commuter bike which can hit trails better

Got both a roadie and a hardtail. And I've got a CX-lite styled thing too, which is for those days when I just can't decide between them.

I love to get out on the mtb with the kids and grandchildren, normally Epping forest great fun, but i love the road bike more.

pardon..?

MTB got me cycling as an adult again, back in the late 80s. Have to say that I can't be arsed with it much these days - it's too much faff. Even the fact that I live a stone's throw from trail centres like Brechfa and Afan - I'm still not tempted to dust off the MTB like I used to...

Been solidly MTB since my Grifter packed up, but trying a tourer (so nearly a roadie) convinced me entirely to go roadie. I still love my ancient MTB but am gagging for a nice roadie.

I used to do 1-2 MTB rides a week and 2-4 road rides but since I lost my cycling 'mojo' about 3 years ago, I've been struggling to do even 1 road ride.

I have friends up once a year for the weekend and I do a Saturday MTB ride with them. This year's gathering is coming up and I realised that I hadn't ridden my MTB since last year's!

I must get back into it - there are some great bridleways round here.

Have both, love both.

Same here. They're both utterly enjoyable, in different ways.
