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.
This article describes the basics of mountain biking. Learning more about the sport will help you to enjoy it even more.

Mountain bikers need only two things when they go biking – a good bike and a good helmet. But there’s dozens of other pieces of equipment which riders should stock up on to increase their enjoyment of the sport.
When you’re out on your mountain bike, the only things you really need to have, apart from a bike suited to the terrain over which you’re writing, are a helmet and goggles. Everything else can really be considered accessories, although they’re the type of accessories that it... Read Full Story
A view from Waypoint 22!
This is the first in my series about mountain biking in Scottsdale, Ariz., and this episode will focus on the trails on the southwest wide of the McDowell Mountains.
There’s something about mountain biking that’s kind of funny. Despite the name, it often doesn’t happen in or on mountains. There’s a lot of mountain biking in valleys, plains, glades, prairies and the like.

A full suspension trail bicycle is often referred to as a dual suspension off-road bike as it is equipped with shock absorbers for both wheels. This is in opposition to the hardtail mountain bicycle that has a shock absorber only for the front wheel. Both kinds of mountain bikes have their own uses. The hardtail bike is better to pedal and is faster than the full suspension bike on smooth terrain. However the second kind can run faster on rough terrain because the shock absorber allows more.
