Mountainbike general- Superior Cardio Edition

If you cant bike 20 miles in rough terrain on mountainbike in less than an hour you are by no means at all a fit person, and you literally cannot dispute this fact.

I bet you none of you faggots actually perform this exciting sport, but i wonder why? It has everything in it.

>A rush of adrenaline
>Meditation trough challenging sport in interaction with mother nature
>The exploration of new territory, the endless opportunities to travel the world discovering new tracks
>A steel crunching non-stop compound muscle exercise that hits your every muscle in your body
>A calorie burn of 2000 calories in one ride.
>Best exercise for your heart
>Will literally add years to your life
>Blood circulation improves drastically if done often
>Better skin from increased blood flow
>Ability to outrun most people
>Becomes increasingly more fun as you become better
>Great combination of fun and hard work
>Requires and produces mental toughness because once you are 10 miles out, you have to ride the remaining 10 miles to get home, so no easy skipping
>Getting home tired as fuck, laying down and then having that first ice cold sip of the day. Pure GOAT


>Biking kills gains

Have you ever seen the legs on a professional road cyclist? They purposefully run a calorie deficit diet to cut off unnecessary weight from the upper body muscles which they dont need to be good cyclist. Now, working out your upper body combined with mountainbiking or roadcycling is the most fun you will ever have while going full greek statue mode.

Truly the patrician choice

Come at me, betas. Post your bike if you are part of the master race.

Also to add;
>Mountain biking increases IQ and brain power from its cardio-respiratory fitness activity, leading to an improvement of up to 15% of mental tests (Illinois University)
>Low impact meaning less stress on your joints
>50% less risk from heart attack and heart issues
>Amazing sleep
>Great social activity

Weak. Jump, you pussy.

Vehement self-bump

I've considered getting into biking, but I never learned as a kid.

So, as 20-something, what is a good beginner bike, and what is the best way to learn how to ride on one's own?

just put your feet on the peddle and go for it bro

Used to ride a lot in my youth. Buncha north shore shit. Took a trip up to Whister four years ago and rode for the first time in probably a decade and managed to get back into it.

Too fuckin expensive tho man. And after eating tree so many times, you kinda want to do something not as stupid.

Yeah, maybe for my son, I actually like riding more than 15 mph.

MTB is for skinnyfat middle-aged men with desk jobs.

>Low impact meaning less stress on your joints

What kind of pussy bullshit are you doing mate jesus fuck?

It's just occurred to me you're some jackass who rides on park trails and is using "mountainbiking" the same way I see dickheads call themselves powerlifters when they've been on SS for three weeks.
