Mountain biking totally fulfills my need for speed. I love rushing downhill on windy singletrack. It's totally like riding on a rollercoaster. I get a good workout biking uphill. After I reach the top, my reward is a nice long fun downhill ride. I need to ride even more now since age is catching up to me. It's really tough to get rid of my camel-hump belly. I'm kinda like a camel. I can go on for a long time without food. Then, once I reach an oasis, I totally pig out. I know it's not healthy. At least I can survive out in the wilderness for a long time. Mountain biking also fulfills my need for adventure, freedom, and travel. I get to explore cool places. Plus, I get good exercise. I even love racing against cars in busy traffic. I used to beat cars in Ktown. I love the feeling of passing cars. I feel good when I pass everyone who are stuck in traffic. It's kinda dangerous riding there, but it's like the thrill of running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. It's a total rush passing cars going over 30 mph in traffic. There are also a lot of cool little getaways that few people know about right here in LA and it's accessible on your bike. You could be overlooking great views of LA only a mile or two from the rest of civilization. It's amazing how there's so few people up there when it's so overcrowded in the city. I just open my map and choose a place that might have good trails. Then, I just bike there. Every town has something cool to see. In conclusion, everyone should bike. Thanks for reading.
