Why Mountain Biking is Just Like Sex, Part II

We got a lot of responses to our 'Why Mountain Biking is Just Like Sex' post last week, so here's another round, this time from readers' comments on our Facebook page:

• if you ride too hard or too long, you're sore for a week
• Some say the dirtier the ride the better..
• the first time generally hurts
• The more you pay, the better the ride.
• If it's squeaky, you need to lube it.
• not all videos are good, but every once in a while a lil pearl comes along that goes down in history.  
• as much as we might drool over our mates' rides, we all know that ours is the one.
• we all remember our first ride
• treat your ride with respect and she'll stay true to you forever.
• NEVER EVER pee when you are riding!!!
• an extra three inches really helps
• some freaks like to wear skin tight lycra and funny shoes
• make sure you're pumped up hard first
• everyone thinks what's between their legs is the best  
• It can be more enjoyable with two or three friends.
• It's ok to eat a sandwich half way through.
• Sometimes you get some scrapes and bumps.
• the ride always gets better, more exciting, more thrills
• no two rides are ever the same
• just when you think you are exhausted and have had enough, you always find one more burst of energy to complete the ride to your satisfaction
•  what goes up must come down
• it's definitely slippier in the wet
• it's safer if you wear protection
• you can have more fun with the right rubber
• if you do it in the forest, bring bugspray
• it takes more skill to go slower
• you can increase your endurance with practice
• you can fit in a quickie during lunchtime
• the best bits are really hard

and finally...

• try not to leave skidmarks
