This might sound like an odd tidbit, but I have been a mountain biker for 9 years and a road cyclist for 7 of those years. I always had the hardest time bunny-hopping or jumping on my mountain bike. When I was at a road biking camp a few years ago, they showed us how to bunny-hop on our road bikes. I think it only took 3 tries.

I am not sure why it was so much easier, but it translated pretty well to mountain biking (at times I don't feel comfortable doing it at a higher speed...well, actually, I don't like this at all). The funny thing is that I was clipped in on my road bike and I was totally o.k. with that (at the time, that was out of character for me to be o.k. with it).

Just a little story to make ya laugh or say, "Gee, she's weird..."
