While I am not the best old man street styler in town, and had my fair shares of cycling “bailouts”. I take pride in my constant core strength exercise opportunities whenever the occasion arises – which is everytime I ride any of my bicycles.

To some, this might look like a habit only street riders (Street MTB or BMX) have because we are “playful”? Not quite accurate. It’s a habit I am happy to retain throughout my bike life as this hops and pops continue to build core strength and muscle memories.
