Hey! In my spare time I enjoy riding my mountain bike.
That sounds like fun! so you enjoy going on a bike designed for road cycling then?
Yes most definitely! It's exhilarating to do that.
I am sure it is.  I read that the bikes share similarities with other bikes but have added features to enhance the durability and performance in rough terrain
Ooh. That is interesting. I have to do some more research about the newer features.
some of the features I saw was front and full suspension, large knobby tires, more durable wheels, more powerful brakes, and lower gear ratios for climbing steep terrain
Oh awesome! I definitely would need to update my mountain bike.
Where do you typically ride.  I saw that they are generally ridden on mountain trails, single track, fire roads, and other unpaved surfaces
