Yep, I could ride out of the house on a mountain bike and spend all day on the trails. Unfortunately with the bed knees also comes a bad lower back from my Army days too. I finally had a couple of years with only mild issues so I decided to try MB'ing again. Bought a nice new one last winter. Then in the spring the back blew on two different occasions while I was doing nothing. In fact the send time I was walking across my living room floor carrying a plastic Garmin mount and it just went with no warning. I took that as a sign and passed the mountain bike on to a local teen at great loss.
