I've been road biking for almost one year now and love it!! I've met a lot of new friends riding in my local group rides and many of them mountain bike in the winter and are urging me to get a mtn bike and join them.

I hear a lot of stories about spills and crashes on mtn bikes and am a bit apprehensive about getting injured.

Do any of you mtn bike? Is it a fairly easy transition from road biking? Do you enjoy it?

Thanks.
