I am pretty into cycling. 2022 year-to-date (August), I've rode 1,046 mi across 56 rides, achieved an elevation gain of 46,528 ft, and rode a total of 75 hours. 40 to 60 miles of riding with 2000 to 3000 ft of elevation gain over the weekend is normal for me; weekdays typically see a short 10-mile ride if I have any steam left after work.
Because of this, I never drive too aggressively on mountain roads, because I can be a cyclist on the same road the next day and I wouldn't want to be hit. But I love driving, so I take it to AutoX and track days to let it out.
I have a mountain bike and a road bike. The mountain bike is an old hard tail that has been with me for 10 years now. Use it for cross country rides; DH not really what I can manage. The road bike is a much more recent purchase, 1-2 years. Entry level carbon frame and 105, which is more than enough performance for my level. Converted to tubeless tires.
The picture of the mountain bike on the car is when I just replaced the rear wheels with 255/35 R18. The shop refused to put on the front because they think it'll rub; it won't, just very tight. The car is now on a square set up with BC coilovers. Next step is BBK.
Have fun on the road, riding or driving.
