Last Man Spinning The World looks different from a bike! I’m Scott McNulty a former racer who’s been riding long enough to know what matters - and to laugh at the rest.

Cycling • Humor • Perspective • Stories from the saddle • Lessons for life.

1. I’d forgotten how much fun it is to be a beginner.
No average speed to chase. No power targets. Just learning something new, enjoying the scenery, and occasionally wondering what I’ve gotten myself into.

2. Mountain biking demands a different kind of attention.
On the road, I’m watching my watts. On the trail, I’m watching the damn trees. And the roots. And the rocks. And whatever else is trying to throw me off the bike.

3. Fitness doesn’t equal skill.
I can ride a road bike for hours. Apparently that doesn’t mean I know what the hell I’m doing when the trail gets technical. 😂

Nearly 30 years riding bikes, and somehow I’ve found another reason to love them.

Roadies who’ve tried mountain biking, what surprised you most?

The best upgrade you can buy for your bike might not go on your bike.

Cyclists will spend thousands upgrading wheels, suspension, drivetrains and anything else that promises to make us faster.

But you know what might be the smartest investment of all?

A good coach.

After decades of road cycling, today I had my first mountain bike coaching session.

And let me tell you, being comfortable on a road bike doesn’t automatically mean you know what the hell you’re doing on singletrack. 😂

The bike has plenty of capability. The rider? Well, we’re working on that.

You can spend a fortune making your bike better. Sometimes the smartest money is spent making yourself better.

And honestly, learning something completely new after all these years is half the fun.

🚵‍♂️ What’s the best investment you’ve ever made in becoming a better cyclist?

Life’s too short not to ride your bike.

Buy the bike. Ride the bike. Buy another bike.

Repeat until someone recommends therapy. 😂🚴‍♂️

My most productive meeting every Friday is between me and my bike. 😂🚴‍♂️

They said age is just a number. Nobody mentioned the number comes with a new knee, a new hip, and a 9pm bedtime 😂

Apparently sleeping in is still not one of my hobbies. 😂

Eating is my hobby and I’m a pro!! 🍽️😂

Cycling isn’t a hobby.

Hobbies don’t require multiple bikes, Lycra, tiny computers, expensive shoes, nutrition strategies, weather apps, training plans and an alarming percentage of your disposable income.

That’s a lifestyle choice. 😂

What hobby did cycling replace for you?

After many years on a road bike, I’m adding a little dirt to the program.

1. Bikes are supposed to be fun-Road-Gravel-Mountain…whatever. Two wheels, somewhere to go and a reason to smile. That’s really the whole point.

2. Fall is here and it’s time to mix things up, build some strength, learn some new skills and see what mountain biking can add to my road riding.

3. The dirt is calling my name. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing yet… which honestly makes me want to ride this thing even more.

4. I’ve spent enough years in the aero position.Its time to find out what happens when the road stops being smooth!! 🚵😎

One rule for staying young:
Life’s too short…keep buying bikes. 😁Canyon
