Mountain Biking!
Go off-road! Mountain biking is the sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain. Features of a good mountain bike include wide, knobby tires, large frame tubing, front fork or dual suspension shock absorbers. These characteristics underscore durability and performance in rough terrain.
Four categories of mountain biking: cross country, downhill, freeride, and trails/street biking...for each category there are different bike and gear types.
There is a combination sport named mountain bike orienteering which adds the skill of map navigation to mountain biking.
Because riders are often far from civilization, there is a strong ethic of self-reliance in the sport. Riders learn to repair their broken bikes or flat tires to avoid being stranded miles from help.
This reliance on survival skills accounts for the group dynamics of the sport. Club rides and other forms of group rides are common, especially on longer treks.
This individual sport requires endurance, bike handling skills, and self-reliance. From gravel road to singletrack (narrow trails that wind through forests, mountains, deserts, or fields), mountain bikes traverse them all.
