I have heavy MTB, so it's pain riding on the road, but fun scaring people flying past them in a park
Always get adrenaline dose when both wheels are sliding on the curve when going over 30 km/h on light gravel/dirt without protective gear
Btw, good full suspension bicycle costs about 5000 LT, in our country normal monthly salary is 2000 LT. So you get an idea how much bicycles gets stolen...
Anyway, it's a good sport (makes your ass nice), increases stamina, you meet people, see various interesting things. On my evening rides i make about 40-50 Km which squeezes last power from me
