Are you mostly a mountain biker, or a roadie, or both and tell us why? If both, which do you enjoy more?
I just got back into mountain biking. I really enjoy it for many of the same reasons I enjoy skiing and hiking - being in the woods and away from confusion. Other than speed and the workout, I don't really see the appeal of road riding. I don't like the thought of sharing the road with jackass drivers. I guess one major benefit though is you can do it right out the door rather than perhaps having to drive to a trail head. My MTB preference is probably due to the same reasons I prefer picking my way down a windy technical trail on skis, rather than flying down some groomer at break neck speed.
You?
