Most Cyclists Appreciate The Lightweight Bike

Where does the cyclist turn when focused on buying mountain bike? A serious rider wants lightweight for speed, easy transitions for uphill or downhill stretches of trail. Plus, there is nothing more important than a comfortable seat for those long rides.

Not everyone races along like a first place winner. Most riders are content to ride at a leisurely pace. If the weather is pleasant, not over 80 and not under 60, it makes for a perfect way to get in the cardio that a moderate exerciser needs. If the scenery is outstanding, it is like taking a mini-vacation in the middle of the week.

Jeana was a recreational rider. Important to her was having a matching bike color and helmet color. Her outfit might be a pair of pearl izumi shorts and a matching t-shirt. Sun block protected her skin from sunburn. She wanted to look good, have fun and still not do any sun damage to her skin. The cardio factor wasn’t her primary reason for riding.

On her first ride up this hill, she had viewed it as a mountain equal in height to Pike’s Peak out in Denver Colorado. It was actually on a moderate incline. But, though the weather wasn’t too hot, she felt sweat on her forehead under the bike helmet. Her hands were slipping on the handlebars by the time they stopped to rest.

Her water bottle provided still-cool refreshment. Later in the day the water would be tepid, however, still better than nothing to keep her hydrated. Everyone sat in the shade drinking and chatting for about ten minutes.

It was time to continue. These mountain bikes were the best things they had ever invested in. Every time they talked about it, she and John wondered why they waited so long to get rid of those old, heavy bikes. They had been so hard to go uphill on.

They took good care of these fantastic new diamondback bikes. When they got home they would get out the hose and wash them. The money spent was a good investment in fun, they decided. Putting their sweaty helmets back on, they journeyed up the hill.

The trees were full of chirping birds and squirrels seemed to observe the two riders as they struggled to the top of the hill. It was a mountain to them. They always viewed it that way, but realized it was only a hill. When they reached the top, they stood for a few minutes to enjoy the lovely view. Then, sitting under a shade tree with full branches, they sipped tepid water. Soon they agreed it was time to take their nutrition bars out of their pockets.They needed some energy for the ride back even though it was downhill.
