MOUNTAIN BIKE
Have you ever wondered why people have different kinds of
bikes? Why doesn't everybody have the same bike? Well I'm going to
tell you why you should get a mountain bike or a different bike
depending on what's right for you.
In the 80's, mountain bikes were beginning to become popular.
The reason is because they can ride on most things. They can ride
easily on rough terrain including dirt roads, mountains, etc. But
they can also ride on street roads and other smooth surfaces.
Plus, they can ride on them pretty fast. People liked this idea of
riding on practically anything and that's why it became popular.
Today, many people including me have a mountain bike for the same
reason.
The frames can be made of titanium, carbon-fiber, or other
materials. Mountain bikes can handle very well.
You're probably wondering what features a mountain bike has.
Mountain bikes have some features that other bikes have and some
features that other bikes don't have.
Frame: Mountain bikes have sturdy frames
Gears: A gear is system of 21 speeds.
Tires: Wide, knobby tires to ride over rough
terrain
Wheels: A wheel size of 26 inches
Handle bars: Flat handlebars
Suspension: Front and rear suspensions
