Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Went for my first forest ride today, loved it (wrists and knees didnt) by Magpiecicle Adventure biking Adventure on a bike Bicycling Biking Cycling xbiking
Magpiecicle on January 26, 2025 8:33 am I felt like a change from road riding my fixed gear, so bought some knobbly tyres for my Peugeot Hurricane and had a go at riding in the forest. Really enjoyed it, hard work but really fun being out in nature. Only issues are that my wrists got jarred a lot, and my left knee is sore and swollen (existing injury that this flared up) I plan to make some changes to make this more suited to its new forest beater life. Mainly putting my riser stem back on, changing out the awful grips I have. And maybe not running 60psi in the tyres next time…..
Kyro2354 on January 26, 2025 8:48 am I think some more ergonomic bars with a little more sweep back would probably help your wrists. Beautiful bike btw
