Good morning.
Just moved to San Diego from Illinois and, as a welcoming gift some fine San Diegan broke into a dead bolted bike storage locker, cut the lock and stole my Road Bike. Luckily, insurance is going to cover most of the loss. With that being said, I was thinking of using the insurance money to switch from road biking to mountain biking - as San Diego drivers seem overly aggressive and the area is naturally very 'mountainous'.
I was just wondering if I could get some input and some feed back from the community in terms of pros and cons of the area/trails etc - and, perhaps if you own a road bike as well, your preferences.
I've never owned a mountain bike before and all of my experiences with road bikes have been in Illinois, a very flat and boring state. So, please talk to me like I don't know what's going on - because, that is pretty accurate.
