Buying A Lightweight Bike Was A Good Decision

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 just such a person. She rode for exercise, comfort and above all recreation. Her seat was well cushioned (the bike seat that is). She wore sunglasses, had slathered her face and arms with sun block and wore a stylish pair of hot pearl izumi shorts. That is hot in the sense of looking good, not temperature wise.

She remembered the day she first rode on a trail with an incline. It didn’t look challenging at first. It moved up slowly. Then after awhile, her legs started to feel the strain. She was soon sweating under her bike helmet and felt her hands slippery on the handlebars. They finally stopped under a shade tree.

For now the water in her bottle tasted cool. She knew later on it would be luke-warm or even hot. Still, it was preferable to no water at all. They rested under the tree for fifteen minutes and then moved on.

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.

Riding up the hill on these lightweight diamondback bikes was a pleasure. It was still a challenge but not to the point where they wanted to get off and push the bikes alongside them. Green, with matching helmets, they were so attractive too.

Squirrels and birds seem to watch them as they rode on. Finally, they were at the top. Halfway through the journey, they laughed about their hill seeming more like a mountain. The view was really clear today. No clouds were in the sky to bar the view. Sitting under the big shade tree, sipping their warm water they took out some nutrition bars and munched on them as they continued to enjoy the day.
