| Mountain biking is an exciting outdoor activity that you can do alone or with friends. Although many young people own and ride their bikes close to home on roads and paths, a good mountain bike is really designed for riding further afield. As a mountain bike enthusiast you should look forward to the enjoyment and thrill of riding your bike away from the traffic - along country trails, up hillsides, through wooded areas and across mountain streams. Wherever you choose to ride, mountain biking can give you a great deal of pleasure. It is now an officially recognised sport and there are clubs you can join to help you pursue your hobby. This site provides you with some basic information to start the wheels turning and hopefully will encourage you to get the most out of your interest in mountain biking. : | ||||||||||||
