Commuting to and from work is an American pastime. For some it's a long drive through traffic, or a series of walks and subway stops, but a very lucky few will ride to work this morning on a mountain bike.
Mountain bikes are designed to travel through the rugged terrain found on mountain bike trails, so by definition they are quite durable. Potholes, curbs, and alternate routes are no problem. Strangely enough, the mountain bike might be the ultimate urban commuter vehicle. They're ready for everything.
When you commute on a mountain bike there's no such thing as traffic. Come to think of it you can circumvent roads altogether. Roads are no fun on a mountain bike anyway.
You should also consider fuel consumption. While cars run on gas, diesel, or electricity, bikes generally run on tacos. We all know how much those cost. Instead of wearing out like a car engine, your body gets faster, leaner, and stronger as it converts tacos into pedal strokes. What does your bike run on?
When you have a stressful day dealing with clients or coworkers, the ride home on your mountain bike is a healthy way to channel your rage. You can ride like a maniac without endangering others, and that's something special. If you were to get into a car with a head full of stress it might land you in an accident or a fist fight. Here in Florida It's quite common for motorists to get in gun fights during rush hour. As fun as that sounds, I’ll stick to riding off of stuff on my mountain bike.
By far the best thing about commuting by mountain bike is that you’re riding a vehicle that was engineered to have fun on. If you’re an active person who craves excitement, there’s no better way to kick off your morning. If you have some extra time, dicking around on your mountain bike is a guaranteed way to put a smile on your face.
So to those who choose to commute on a mountain bike, we salute you. Today, you'll take the road less traveled, and traverse routes with no roads. Because of you, there's one less car on the road, and one more reason to eat tacos. Thanks for riding with me today and I'll see you next time.
