Mountain Biking For Fitness And Fun
If you see someone riding a bicycle on the street these days, it’s likely to be a mountain bike. That’s because, when it comes to versatility and comfort in a bike, nothing can beat a mountain bike.
There is an enormous range of mountain bikes to choose from. In fact, it can get very confusing. Aside from the major brands, there are many smaller labels that have set themselves apart as manufacturers of high quality, race worthy bikes. Diamondback bikes, for example, built their reputation on bikes built for hardcore BMX and mountain bike riders.
The price tags on these bikes reflect their quality construction. They may have frames that are made out of aluminium or carbon fiber that make them super light. The gearing systems on the bikes are made for perfect performance even under gruelling conditions and the brakes can stop on a dime. While you might not need a bike like this, if you have the money, treat yourself to one.
You can also choose between a number of suspension options. Some come with no suspension at all. Others, called ‘hardtails, ‘ have only front suspension. Still others come with front and Rear Suspension. While full-suspension bikes used to be expensive, they are now common and can be very inexpensive.
You will probably be buying mountain bike accessories to go with your new bike. There are some you should definitely get. A good quality blinking rear warning light is an absolute must. These can be seen even at a great distance and could save your life. A compact gear bag is a good idea, too, in case you get a flat while you’re out riding.
Most people think that bike riding is only good for building muscle in the legs, but that is not entirely true. When you’ve spent a couple of hours pulling on the handlebars for uphill climbs, you will have built upper body as well as lower body strength. Overall muscle growth is very important for serious riders.
If you are seriously considering riding a mountain bike for fitness, you’re better off buying at least a middle priced bike. The cheaper ones are best for cruising, but you can really put the more expensive bikes to the test.
When you add it all up, a mountain bike is probably the most economical piece of fitness equipment you can buy. While the bike may cost more than other specialty fitness equipment, it is also far more useful. You will find you will want to ride your bike all the time, not just for training. You will also be motivated more, because mountain bike riding is just plain fun!
