Strange MTB Terms, mountain bike dating apps, emergency pedal kicks and more! [RNL S1, Ep19]

MTB terms that we use all the time on the trails are stranger, and funnier, than we ever realized!  Terms like 'babyhead rocks' and 'false-flat' are ubiquitous to mountain biking, but actually sound kind of weird & crazy when you really think about it! 

Dan & Sage discuss and joke about all thing’s mountain biking.  Would you date a mountain biker?  Do you agree on our take on group riding dynamics?  What's the difference between babyheads vs. rock-gardens? Laugh and comment on more benefits (and drawbacks) of single speeds, MTB dating apps, dirt jumpers, electric toothbrushes and more! 

Dan visited the Phoenixville Bike Park with his daughter Ella and had an awesome time.  If you want to learn more about the Phoenixville Bike Park visit their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/PXVBP and if you want to support this worthy mission check out “More Kids On Bikes” https://www.morekidsonbikespa.org

MTB Gratitude of the Week

Sage: Sage thanks his good friend Jess who hires him for freelance production work.  This work really helps to sustain Sage's MTB lifestyle (and channels!).  Thank you Jess!

Dan: Dan has so much gratitude for his daughters, Ella (13) & Summer (10).  After a great day of riding bikes with Ella and then attending Summer's elementary graduation, Dan is just overflowing with gratitude and love for his wonderful children.  Life is good!  Thank you kids!

MTB Tip of the Week

Save your old toothbrushes to clean your bike.  Manual toothbrushes work better than electric. LOL!  Bonus tip - Dish Soap doubles as a cheap degreaser!
