Both for different reasons
Yup, I do both.
I ride a road bike mostly do prepare for triathlons, although the speed of small high-pressure tires on the highway if fantastic.
Otherwise, I prefer to ride in the peaceful mountains just west of Calgary. Mountain Biking is like hiking, but with a bit of attitude. My favourite trail is one called Prairie View/Jewel Pass which is a gruelling 6 km uphill to start, then about 10 km all the way back around the mountian and out the other side. Freaking perfect!
Still, gotta love cycling! Great way to commute as well, and easy on gas!
