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.

Santa Cruz Superlight - A proven winner.
I have a little problem here. My Gary Fisher Cake 2 DLX and I have never gotten along. And I’m about to get back into long-distance mountain biking again, since I’ve been roped into joining a duo team “Lost Nuts” in the 24 Hours of Old Pueblo .
The Gary Fisher has just never fit me well. It’s always been a bit too long in the travel department for me, and I’ve just never felt comfortable on it. So I think it’s finally, really, truly New Bike Time... Read Full Story
