I’ve been considering selling my “sagwagon” after some rigid bike time. Synchronicity or something but last night I dreamt of pinning it on a loop ride a few years ago that had a long rough 4WD road as the exit. Realized this morning I easily averaged 30-35mph for several miles on that downhill. TBIs, spinal injuries, compound fractures, the bad possibilities are endless. My experimental 29+ rigid fat bike setup actually rides very well on most dirt trails with speed limit built in, so maybe a custom steel rigid or a Stooge is in order. That misaligned vertebra pic will stick with me. Maybe old folks will usher in a new wave of rigid MTBs ha ha.
