Buying A Mountain Bike

It can be a bit frustrating as well as time consuming
when you buy a mountain bike.  Below, you'll find
some tips and things to be aware of before you lay
down the cash and buy a mountain bike.

Determining your price
There is really no limit as to how much money you can
spend on a new mountain bike.  To help you keep your
spending under control, you should figure out what
your price range is and how much your willing to pay
for a new bike.  When you buy, you shouldn't buy from
mass merchant stores such as Wal-Mart.  You should
instead support your local bike shop and get a much
better bike and much better service.

Beginner Mountain Bike Skills

Mountain biking is an exciting sport that can be
enjoyed by anyone who knows how to ride a bike. 
Compared to the average bike ride, it does present
some danger.  Therefore, you should master these
basic skills before you hit the trails or the
dirt. 

You can practice these beginning skills at a local
park, school, bike path, or simply around your
house. If you can, try to find a location with
a steep hill.
