Cowboys and Mountain Bikers


Ever wanted to be a cowboy, out in the wild riding alongside your trusted outrider? In the 21st century the lonely life dressed in denim and herding cattle can be found. However it's much easier for you and me to text our buddies put on our cycling gear and jump on the mountain bike. 


 
The same companionship; freedom, wet, wind, heat and cold; unlike a motorbike, where helmets, higher speeds and norms of road use can restrict the connection with your fellow riders. On the mountain bike, we chat and joke, off road, or through urban areas stopping not for whiskey in a saloon but coffee or a swig from the water bottle and a power bar.

It seems that no matter how different we may feel from each other, our lives are often amazingly similar.
