I learned to cycle last month and loved it so much I decided to take a crack at commuting with a mountain bike a friend gifted me.
I've tried it twice now and loved being able to spend some time along the canal and see some interesting boats (attached image).
Although I've wondered on some improvements to make it a bit easier, would some smoother tires allow me to get along easier. The path is mostly pathed with some short muddier parts so I assume this would be easier and I've also heard I can lose some efficiency with the front suspension.
Loving this so far and would love to hear some tips.
