A community portal about Mountain biking with blogs, videos, and photos.

The sport requires endurance, bike handling skills and self-reliance. It is an individual sport which can be performed almost anywhere.

There are aspects of mountain biking that are more similar to trail running than regular bicycling. Because riders are often far from civilization, there is a strong ethic of self-reliance in the sport. Riders must learn to repair their broken bikes or flat tires to avoid being stranded miles from help.

This reliance on survival skills accounts for the group dynamics of the sport. Club rides and other forms of group rides are common, especially on longer routes.

In most cases, mountain bikers do not ride on smoothly paved roads, rather they ride on hilly and uneven terrain that can be quite rough on a bicycle. Mountain bikers get a big thrill in riding on unpaved, rough terrain, even though this is ... Read Full Story

They gather every Thursday evening, now that the weather has cooled, at Herron Park, west of Kalispell. Riding bicycles too burly to be for the road but too skinny to be mountain bikes, they spin laps around the park’s terrain, grunting up hills and bombing descents, occasionally jumping off the bike to shoulder it over an obstacle or up an incline too steep to be pedaled. The bicyclists are practicing a growing sport called cyclocross, a...
