Been a long time since I had a bike to ride & could do with some fitness. Figured it can't hurt with my dirt bike riding later on as well once I get into it a bit.
Picked this up recently- Merida big nine 500. Haven't had a chance to ride it much yet but what I have is good fun. Need to do a test ride now it's magpie season & see if there's none on the last ride we went on around here. Plenty of areas around, but I think they're pretty heavily populated with them.
Having them swoop me isn't so much an issue but most days when I can ride I've got my lil girl & don't want one coming in from the front & hitting her..
Gotta say the 29'ers get moving pretty quickly. Got a weeride seat for her & she loved it
