I’m a teenage boy looking to start mountain biking/ freeride. I’ve ridden bikes before but I’ve never REALLY been offroad. I want a bike that is capable of going offroad and on the road. Preferably one that is not to cheap. What kind of bike should I get and where?
By "fit" im guessing you mean how comfortable i feel on the bikes? and so i should just go to the shops and browse..see which ones i like?

I am about to get a mountain bike, I am planning on getting a Trek 4300. Its a hardtail bike. I plan on riding at a park by my house with alot of dirt trails and hills. Is it fine if I get a hardtail bike or is it really necessary for me to get a full suspension bike for what I plan on doing?

I am trying to purchase a mountain bike for my fiancee and I and are having trouble finding a reliable brand. Most stores do not know much about the bikes they are selling they mainly state that the brands are not very good when something goes wrong, such as Huffy, Ozone, Next, and more. I am wanting to know a reliable brand of mountain bike that is not way too expensive.

www.x-tremevideo.com Seasons is a film that follows seven of the world’s top mountain bikers through the course of four seasons of one year. The film explores what it means to be a full time rider as told through the lives of downhill racers, slopestyle competitors, and big mountain freeriders. The main riders in the film are: Darren Berrecloth, Matt Hunter, Cam McCaul, Steve Peat, Andrew Shandro, Steve Smith, and Thomas Vanderham. There will also be some guest appearances by others who cross paths with the main seven riders. The Collective has been working on Seasons non-stop for the last twelve months, and is now in post production on the film, cutting together footage from multiple shoots with every rider, ranging from slopestyle competitions to World Cup downhill races, to epic backcountry freeride shoots. “The film has been a ton of work for everyone involved,” says Jamie Houssian of The Collective, “so it’s nice to finally see it come together in the studio. It’s a new type of film for the action sports genre. We’re stoked to show people something a little different”. Seasons is sponsored by Specialized, Shimano, Adidas Eyewear, Whistler Mountain Bike Park, Bontrager, Dakine, Helly Hansen, and Pinkbike.com. The film’s theatrical World Tour starts in April 2008 and the DVD will be available in May 2008 in bike shops worldwide and from www.thecollectivefilm.com

In today’s fast paced, technological world many people forget the importance of exercise during their daily grind. Especially if you work in an office environment or other job which requires you to be stationary for much of the day, you may not be getting the exercise you need to stay healthy. Combined with a bad diet of convenience foods and take out alongside other vices such as smoking or drinking, it is pretty easy to do your own body serious damage in the long run and you could develop health problems that cannot easily be fixed. One easy way to get more exercise into your daily routine is to get a men’s mountain bike.

Much easier than walking, swimming or running, cycling can help to develop a stronger heart and lungs and is relatively easy to incorporate into most people’s routines. For example, while walking to work can take a prohibitively long time, cycling can be as fast as taking the car or public transport especially considering early morning traffic. You can avoid long waits in congested traffic and get a work out at the same time just by cycling to work on your men’s mountain bike.

You can also take your men’s mountain bike to visit the local store or drop in on friends. You will find just by getting more exercise into your life that you will feel younger, healthier and will have more energy for the things you enjoy in life. The rewards are many for so little effort.

The Green Way to Travel
Of course, exercise isn’t the only benefit a men’s mountain bike can bring. Aside from getting healthier through being more active you will also be contributing to lower carbon emissions by not using your car. If more and more people switch to using their men’s mountain bikes when possible to get from A to B the level of pollution will drop over time and the Earth will benefit too.

It is becoming more important with each passing day that we all do our bit to help limit the damage we are doing to the planet. Using a men’s mountain bike for travel can give you peace of mind as it is a completely guilt free mode of transport. It can also be fun for the family to go off on bicycle rides together perhaps for a picnic or just a scenic ride at the weekend, spending some quality time away from the TV and the computer. Many families find that activities such as these help them to bond in a way that’s not always possible at home.

In summary, a men’s mountain bike can help you to get more exercise into your daily routine, becoming healthier in the process. It can help the environment by lowering the carbon emissions from other modes of transport, and can even help you to bond with your family. It is easy to see that the many benefits of owning a men’s mountain bike can dramatically overcome what can often be a very low initial cost involved with buying one.

I’m wanting to start distance riding for cardio and need to buy a used mountain bike. I’m not looking to spend a lot of money but I don’t want a piece of crap. What should I buy?

Original retail price 0 in 1994. Very lightly used, mostly on pavement, then stored indoors for the past 9 years…
It’s actually an 820–sorry for the typo!
Jman: I’m not sure I even know what I have. Why would my bike be worth that much?!
