i’m looking to get a new bike for highschool mountain biking team but under 2000 dollars. i’ve been looking at trek fuel ex 6.5, but i need some other opinions!
thanks
Two nights ago my brakes stalled on my mountain bike, I went flying across the handle bars and the left side of my face hit the pavement.
All in all I dont think its too serious, but i cant be too sure. I suffered scratches along side my left temple, swelling in and around my left cheek bone, one horrible black eye, and what appears to be a broken blood vessel within the white section of my left eye.
My vision is fine and there’s no pain to speak of, expect for a mild tension along my left jaw and a slight sting when i touch the scabs along my ear and cheek.
I laid some ice on my left eye 15 minutes on 15mins off to bring down the swelling, other than that I havent done anything. If you thinki should see a doctor please let me know.
in school we have to find quotes that describe ourselves and I’m stumped.
here is some stuff about me:
i wear guy jeans and guy shirts and i love ‘em. i snowboard,mountain bike, and play soccer. All my best friends are girls. I have an older brother and i’m very talkative.
and i’m obliviously a tomboy.
any ideas???

I am 18 and live in Nashville suburbs but fairly close to the city. I have a car but it is broken and I am facing the fact that I will never be able to fix it. I live with parents and live a 3 mile hilly walk from the closest bus stop,…. which carries bikes to the next location. Everyday I walk the 3 miles home from the stop after school and I am really sick of the extra 30 to 60 minutes is adds to my day, I used to be an avid biker when I was really young and still own the bulky kids mountain bike and when I’ve gotten it out recently I tire quickly on it and I am wondering if it is the old tiny bike that is almost heavier than me or just me. I thought it was just me for awhile but the fact that I can carry my books for 3 miles everyday without tiring, walk everywhere, and last long after kids in chain gangs in mosh pits is making me think maybe it is the bike. I am looking into buying a road bike or a hybrid to add more time to my day and help me have a mode of transportation besides the bus when I leave my house for good…. which I am hoping is soon. I just don’t want to put in the money only to have the same result on that bike too. Help me out here. I need to know if I should go for another bike… I know I need more exercise but I do not believe I am so unfit that I can’t go a couple miles without being about to collapse on a bike… would a road bike help me out? Remember that I am 100 pounds and my bike at the moment is 80 pounds. I also would like to know what type of bike I should get and if getting one at a thrift store and having that fixed up would work just as well as a new one. thank you.
the bike is heavy and feels extra heavy but is intended for a 80 pound kid
that was a really messed up typo sorry…. I tried to get through the thing with out my dyslexia kicking in…. im proud over all

Ok, so i’ve asked a lot of people, but no one seems to really know the detection periods of marijuana.
I smoked marijuana on and off for about a year ( I know it’s a stupid and pointless drug, but I was young and made some mistakes so please no one flame me for it). I decided I wanted to join the military and quit smoking about two months ago. Altough 3 weeks ago I was at a party and the alcohol imparied my decsion. I was with a friend back from Iraq, and he convinced me that I would be fine…so I smoked.
I took my drug test at the MEPS center yesterday, having a 20 day break from any marijuana, and a 60 day break in which I barley smoked (described above). I mountain bike frequently (2-3 times a week) and consume, a half gallon of water every time I bike. I also run 2-3 times a week for two miles, and consume a lot of water. The week prior to taking my test I drank about 3 gallons of water. I also passed two of those take home drug tests from walmart.
I get my results on Thursday, but I’m really stressing out about it. do you guys think I passed?
Here’s a little information regarding the accuracy of the military tests:
Drug Screening Level (Nanograms per milliliter) Confirmation Level (Nanograms per milliliter)
THC (Marijuana) 50 NG/ML 15 NG/ML.
Drug Detection Windows
THC (Marijuana) 1-3 Weeks*
I need to decorate my dorm with some posters, but all I can find are the same, lame ski posters. Are there any good posters I can get for cheap?
And what about downhill Mountain Biking Posters?
I am competing in a 9 mile bike race in an park that has slight hills. I have a mountain bike that I use to cruise around town. Do you think this is good enough? Do I really need a special bike for a race this small? I am going to get it tuned up before I race
yes i know its seven but what are my actual gains by going with a 21 over a 14 speed. i live in a semi hilly area mostly roling hills like wine country(san Luis Obispo, CA) i was wondering if i would use all 21 or if 14 would suufice. i have doen some longer rides on my mountain bike mostly 15-20 miles and one 45 miler reasonably well on a hardtail with road slicks.
im talking about a road bike. i want to shift into road over mountain since where i live is more road and not too many mountain trails
