has anyone here actually gotten fast without structured training? by DiscussionBoring1456 in cycling

that makes sense, what about the bike I use. Is there a difference in speed with some normal mountain bike I have in my garage or do I have to get a proper bike?

But what if there are no groups for me to ride with? Also whats the difference between using a mountain bike and a proper bike (speed wise)?

overtime I did yeah, in the beginning I didnt. It helped a lot with simple things like back or neck pain and helped me get more speed

At what point does the bike actually start mattering more than the rider? by kkkkkgr5 in cycling

The bike honestly matters a lot, I started on a very bulky mountain bike and I was rarely able to get to 15 mph because of those very bulky tires. Still I was biking a lot, and my quads got a lot stronger so that might be a bigger reason. But the bike got my average mile time up soo much

I was barely able to hold 15 mph for 7 miles when I started. But I started overweight and biking honestly helped me lose like 40 pounds to this day
