A couple of years ago I came back from a hiking trip with some pain in both knees. The doctor said to take it easy and it would go away. Now, two years down the road it seems to be a chronic condition even after much pt. I had to stop drumming (because of the pedals), backpacking, running, and even had to limit the amount I walked. At nineteen I was pretty down and out and feeling much more like an eighty year old. Enter biking. I met a good friend who rides dh and started riding myself. It turns out that the action of pedaling a bike is great for your knees, and keeps mine healthy enough for me to be able to run and jump, and drum again without pain. As long as I'm biking fairly regularly, I'm just about as healthy as any normal guy. Plus it gave me an awesome job (liftie soon to be bike patroller), great friends, and sweet scars. Although it did curse me with a penchant for highly expensive and suspiciously finicky machines.

Mtb has cost me alot. Cost me girls, cost skin cells, cost me brain cells, cost well over £2000 and most of all a credible relationship with alot of family. But I dont give a shit. Whatever it costs riding is my life. f*ck money, f*ck skin, f*ck brains, f*ck it all. I just wanna go and ride.

it has seriously helped me a lot, i had scoliosis so bad i needed surgery or else id develop heart and lung problems, and biking gave me something to look forward to while i was recovering. since having back surgery i've gotten a lot better, raced downhill once, and have focused mainly on street/urban and park riding. im so glad i can still ride after all this.
