If you arenā€™t planning on actually mountain biking then a mountain bike is not a good choice. ---

> [@RedGoober4Life](#): > > If you arenā€™t planning on actually mountain biking then a mountain bike is not a good choice. Back that up. I ride 5-10 miles a day on my Trek 4500 and then beat the shit out of it every possible weekend. Its not as efficient as a road bike, but it goes everywhere. Not just manicured roads. ---

> [@RedGoober4Life](#): > > If you arenā€™t planning on actually mountain biking then a mountain bike is not a good choice. NYC streets = roadbike death if you arenā€™t super careful, which I know Iā€™m not. Plus I also plan on riding on some light trails and in/through parks. Nothing crazy, which is why I opted for a hardtail over a full suspension bike. I also have an adjustable suspension up front that I can stiffen up (huhuhuh) when Iā€™m on the road. I was thinking of going hybrid, but this mammer jammer was on sale for a really good price and came with some pretty good components (so iā€™ve read) especially for the price. I like ā€œrough ridingā€ lol. ---
