I will be moving to Bristol (UK) and I understand it’s quite hilly so I want a mountain bike and since I won’t have a car, I will use it to transport things around and don’t want to just use a backpack. But I never see baskets on mountain bikes, panniers occasionally. I only see baskets on non-mountain bikes. When I was in Holland, I didn’t see baskets on mountain bikes (though Holland barely has any hills so mountain bikes aren’t necessary). Is it dangerous to put a basket on a mountain bike? Like it interferes with the gears or something? Thanks
What kind of bike should I need to bike up in the mountains in the snow? It would be mainly snow, dirt, and mud. How much would it cost? How old do you have to be? How fit should you be?
My boyfriend got his Marin Bobcat Trail bike stolen and is really upset, his birthday is coming up and I want to buy him one. I have no idea what makes a good mountain bike. Please help with suggestions of what to look for and where to find a good affordable bike. Thanks!
My sis got a autobike mountain bike but I saw no make or model on it. I like the idea of not having to shift gears so I looking for an affordable bicycle that either automatic or gear less and I want something rugged like a mountain bike. Dirt bikes are great but I feel like a little kid riding one. Any suggestions?
I’m looking to replace my very old mountain bike. I ride off road on hill trails but not down mountains. I also have to ride on roads to get to the trails.
Brands I’ve looked at are Specialized and Trek – are these any good or are there better? The bike I’m thinking of getting is the Specialized Expert. Would this be a good buy?
I’m thinking about buying a bike at walmart to ride to work (I only live a mile away) and to do cardio on when I’m not running. Should I get a mountain bike or a street bike? Why is one better than the other?
I think I realized what the problem is… I have a specialized alum mountain bike. In the rear sometimes the tires rub against the rear of the frame because the wheels get out of place when I’m straining going uphill climbs. I think its because my wheel clamps.. the long rob and clamp that keeps my wheel in place is stripped? Meaning where the metal from the clamp meets the metal where the hub rests on the frame is grinded down giving no grip at all. The metal seems kind of worn down and getting thin on the frame itself there. What can I do so keep the wheel in place so it doesn’t move around in rough situations?
the only bike i can find to buy are womens mountain bike. because it has the tube in an angle instead of straight. if i buy it, do u think i would look weird or not?
I have limited funds (less than $120) and I would like to buy a set of clippless mountain bike pedals and a pair of the “performance” style shoes. What is more important, nice shoes, or nice pedals? Which should I splurge more on?
I am thinking about the brands nashbar and shimano, and I am wondering whether I should get the cheaper nashbar pedals and the more expensive shoes, or the more expensive pedals and cheaper pedals.
Please could someone give me a list of things i should be checking/doing with my mountain bike every week or month to keep it in top condition.
