Ya, but in addition, not everyone adheres to the same language rules as your dear grammer . . . or great-grammer.

I bumped heads a time or two with UMD, he also had some helpful things to say. He and his wife were dedicated riders. Sad to hear that he is not posting.

If John Wayne rode a bike, I bet it would be fat tires!

Oh I get it, this is kinda like Broncos vs Raiders or Star Wars vs Star Trek kinda argument! That's why guys are drawn to it, no chicks involved in this calamity I bet. They wouldn't understand the importance.

Don't be so quick to discount the input of our resident gnar-shredder-chick.

Got to chime in here. Uh, its a bike, ride it. I pedal up here in the north of Boston MA. Rocks and roots are the norm. I have a single speed, full suspension, and a hard tail and a 29er too. Yes I get that there is sometimes an attitude problem, don't ride with them? At our local state forest, Harold Parker, there is very little in the way of easy single track, so one learns to ride the tech stuff. HTFU I say.
