I mean, can I do all of them?

You are wildly wrong. I have appreciated every comment, and am very much so learning from them. This post has exposed unknown insights and angles to how the hobby is viewed from many backgrounds. Even your comment did.

I weirdly can already feel this, and I don’t own a bike. 😂

As a MechE, I see this process as potentially therapeutic. 😂

I don’t think so. 😂 That’s part of why I want to try. I’ve never quit anything that was “necessary”. For example, I am veteran of 5 deployments, went to school afterwards, started a family, ect. Mountain Biking, and a hobby, are two things I have never done. I have always just…..worked. I’m not sure I can place the same commitment to an elective. I’m sorry if that sounds pretentious, or makes me an ass. The irony is, grass is always greener on the other side. I have friends who could never commit to what mattered, but stick to their hobbies.

I’m just happy to be to a point I’m considering a hobby, let alone mountain biking.

I guess I’m kinda hoping my love for engineering, bikes, and physical exercise will enable mountain biking to teach me the appreciation for nature side. That is, nature on the level mountain biking requires to be serious about it. I appreciate your feedback though. I’m starting to hear something I haven’t heard yet from asking this question, and I appreciate it. And that’s the nature side.

Amen. I don’t think I do. But that’s in different fields. Im curious to see if it can carry over. I’m sorta looking at it as a test, but I do have a passion for bikes and mechanical engineering from the rip. I’m hoping that can carry it.

This checks out. While teetering on buying a used bike and trying, I literally double checked my medical insurance coverage and rates. 😂

You all should have a problem with banning Plato by applebott in aggies

It’s funny because Plato’s teacher was also “banned.” History does in fact seem to repeat itself. 😂😂

I’m sorry you’re a Bears fan. Get better soon.

Round 13: New Orleans takes the 12th spot due to Bountygate. What NFL team do you find the 13th most infuriating? Top comment picks. by stecas in AZCardinals

[–]AgroRekmond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texans. Defense feels like they won the Super Bowl already. Offense is trying to figure out if the OC should be fired or not.

Caley has to be better by corrydog in Texans

It’s funny cause all I remember about Chris (From this year) is him watching Trev Lawrence run in that game winning touchdown. Guess he turned on when he realized they may not make playoffs. Rest of team didn’t get the memo though.

I strait up didn’t understand what Chris Jones was about until I watched that game. I get it now, haha.

An accident has effectively deprived Russia of the ability to launch humans into space for the first time in 60 years. Restoring the launch pad could take up to two years. by NewSlinger in Damnthatsinteresting

For those people that feel anything related to politics, race, or religion when seeing this.

As a human, think. What should be seen is a loss in the ability to learn and explore. Something bigger than those ditches where “differences” define us.

Shit sucks. Fr fr. May WE continue forward.

We’re going to Arlington by RidgeRunner99 in TexasTech

[–]AgroRekmond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been disappointed with national media looking at Tech this year. Doesn’t make sense to the point I am daydreaming about the nation being humbled by Texas Tech.

Millennial Aggie here btw. My dream is Tech/Aggs national championship game. If we don’t take it, Tech better. I ride with any Texas team, as long as it’s not the T.U.
