as a hardtail rider who currently looking for fullsus, this bike checks content are really inspirational, great to see many people enjoying their hardtails out there, especially the 80yr old single speed fat tires, absolute legendary.

So refreshing to hear the lady about her Ozark bike that she won't change anything, the bike totally suits her needs. So wise 👏👏
