Mountain Bikes
Mountain bikes are items that are not always easy to buy.
If you are a beginning mountain biker, it can be difficult to know which
bikes are best equipped for you to use.
• Most decent mountain bikes will be lightweight. They should
also be responsive and easy to handle on trails.
• Visit the local bike shop and ask their advice about what kind
of bikes they suggest for a beginner.
• Some mountain bikes can cost thousands of dollars. Others can
be bought for less than $500. Know your budget before shopping.
• Try it out. Ask your friends if they are happy with their mountain
bikes. If they are happy, you might ask them to try it out. This could
be a good way to figure out what feels good to you. Most bike shops
have no problem letting bikes go out for a demo ride. You will be asked
to leave something such as a driver license to ensure you return to
the shop with their merchandise.
