Ride a bike from the early 90s. Remember what it was and is all about.

Put some flat pedals on and go play in the City. Ride some drops and gaps, pull some manuals.

Ride a road bike. Realise that it is simply fun

Ride a BMX track. On a BMX or on MTB, doesn't matter. Have fun, ride the berms and jumps

Look for the local dirt jumps. Ask the locals, get involved.

Ride in the pouring rain, in the mud. Get covered in dirt and just smile.

Ok, this is many things:

(1) Look well ahead when riding into rock gardens too fast in driving rain
(2) Don't ride into rock gardens too fast in driving rain
(3) Avoid landing on sharp rocks when crashing
(4) Don't ride around for an hour with blood pouring out of your chin before going to A+E

Alternatively:

(1) Build up a bike from scratch – nothing can surpass this experience
(2) Don't bother trying to build wheels yourself – unless you don't mind the expense of various tedious 'failures' over the years, whereupon 15 years later you finally figure out this dark art – and build something round, true, evenly tensioned and strong, and wonder why it ever seemed like such a hard thing to do.

Whatever type of riding you want to do, do it, don't worry what others think as long as you are having fun!

Don't listen to anybody on here……even me 😕
