Feb. 12, 2010 - PRLog -- Bicycle riding has come a long way from just riding your bike to and from school or riding over to your friends house because you are too young to drive.

We now have Mountain Bikes. These bikes are durable rugged bikes that you can put a thousand miles on it, up and down rugged terrain with no problem.

Mountain biking is also now a sport. Like race car driving, your mountain bike must be built and tuned to handle your weight as well as the track that you would be racing on.

There are many types of mountain bike riding styles. For example, there is Cross Country riding. With this style of riding you would want a light weight bike with tires that can grip the road and terrain. One of the favorite bikes for this style is the Trek Mountain Bike hardtails chosen because of  their low weight, durability, agile feel, and precise handling. http://www.carbonframebikes.com has a very nice sale on the Trek Mountain Bikes.

Downhill bike riding are for those bikers who enjoy a rush. Downhill mountain bikes should have the very best suspensions, front and back, durable and reliable brakes, steering and other parts. When going fast down hill, you want to make sure you have total control and can maneuver and stop when you need to.

No matter what style of biking is chosen, be sure to pay attention to some of the key elements of a mountain bike such as the Frame, wheels and tires, handlebars, brakes and of course the proper tire pressures.

As there are so many mountain bikes to choose from, if you are looking to buy your first mountain bike. Look for a used mountain bike or an inexpensive new bike and try it out for size. Your money will not be wasted. If you find out after awhile that you want a more expensive mountain bike, you will easily be able to sell your starter bike. We found that http://www.carbonframebikes.com has a large selection of new and used Mountain Bikes that are suitable for professional or casual bike riders alike.
