Tips for First Time Mountain Bikers
Mountain biking can seem like an intimidating
activity. You are defying gravity and pedaling can be tricky on rough and
uneven surfaces. But if you use the right mountain bike, you should find
yourself enjoying this hobby.
Consider getting an Electric
Mountain Bike from Bicycle Sports Pacific. An electric mountain bike in
Vancouver is easier to use because it has assistive features. If you know that
you are going to have a hard time with gravity and climbing those steepslopes,
these bikes can give you the assistance that you need.
Join a group or look for a biking buddy. It’s more
intimidating to go mountain biking on your own. In case something happens,
there is someone who can look out for you. You can provide support to each
other.
Start with easier trails as well. As a beginner, you
would want to take trails that are easier to traverse rather than immediately
challenge yourself to expert level trails. Expert level trails are often
replete with challenges that beginners won’t be able to handle easily.
Get used
to your bike first. You don’t want to take a brand new bike up the mountains if
you don’t know its features and handling abilities yet. You can try using it
for everyday road biking first just to familiarize yourself with its weight and
how it responds to your movements. Once you are already used to it and gained
more confidence in riding it, you can then take it to the mountains for
mountain biking.
