Yesterday I went out and bought a mountain bike - the Trek Paragon. It has 29" wheels and is built very well. It is probably 3 to 4 times heavier than my road bike. Since I live in Dallas, you would think that a road bike is better suited for the terrain. Dallas is one of the cities in the US with the fewest bike paths per citizen in the nation. You can't find a trail unless you drive to it. We moved a couple of months ago to an area that is near the Trinity River. The Trinity intersects Dallas and Ft. Worth and their is a levee system built through it. This is very close to my house and yesterday I rode 13 hard miles on the dirt trail a top of the levee. It was great fun and you can only ride it if you have a mountain bike.
