DAZAM you rode in Hawaii. I was out there this past year two times totaling about a month but I never got to ride anything. I wasn't very much into MTB'ing then. But I did bring my road gear but never got around to touring Oahu or Maui on a rental bike like I had planned. I was all set and stuff too.
Instead I did tons of local and touristy things. Now I don't even ride road and always mountain.
Hawaii is dope but stay away from the city and stay local and get the vibe. It also helps if you're Asian
. But I did take some Walmart bikes up the road near diamond head. That was fun and about all the bike action I seen all trip. Ohh... except for the bike ride downhill from Haleakala. THAT WAS FUN!
Okay, I'll stop ranting. Sorry, when I hear Hawaii it's just like OOOO AHHHHH...
