There comes a point in every mountain bike’s life when its owner stops riding it. It might be after a season or two, or it might be decades from now. Either way, we’re curious to know what you do (or plan to do) with a mountain bike once you no longer ride it.

What do you do with a bike you don’t ride anymore?

Hang onto it for sentimental reasons
Sell it to help finance a new bike
Give it to a friend or family member
Donate it to a non-profit
Trash it. I ride my bikes into the ground!
Something else I’ll tell you about in the comments

( function() {
const style = document.createElement( ‘style’ );
style.appendChild( document.createTextNode( ‘#wpforms-724030-field_2-container { position: absolute !important; overflow: hidden !important; display: inline !important; height: 1px !important; width: 1px !important; z-index: -1000 !important; padding: 0 !important; } #wpforms-724030-field_2-container input { visibility: hidden; } #wpforms-conversational-form-page #wpforms-724030-field_2-container label { counter-increment: none; }’ ) );
document.head.appendChild( style );
document.currentScript?.remove();
} )();
