Mountain Biking Is Not About The Bike with Nick Dover

Interested

The topic today brings a lot of joy to our family. My husband is an avid mountain biker and shares his passion with our girls. Every time they go out riding in the trees, they come back muddy and happy.

Through riding, we are fortunate to get to know my guest today, Nick Dover, a fellow rider and a good friend. In this episode, I chat with Nick on why mountain biking is not about the bike. Nick is the co-founder of Mountain Bike Hong Kong, they offer mountain bike training & guiding through the network of Hong Kong trails. He is heavily involved with mountain bike advocacy work here for well over a decade. When he is not riding, he is out scouting or building the next trail.

In this conversation, we talk about how mountain biking gives a sense of detachment. How facing challenges on the trail leads to self-discovery. Mountain biking can be exhilarating, nerve-racking, and freeing, all at the same time. We delved into what it takes to build the HK MTB community. Nick shares tips on how to get started with mountain biking, and being in nature is natural. Nick may be very modest throughout this interview but anyone who is related to the MTB community in HK knows that without Nick MTB wouldn’t be half of what it has grown to be today. He is truly a heart of gold.
