Going Away On Holiday With Your Mountain Bike Needs Thought
Summer has come round yet again and it’s time to consider the family summer holiday if you haven’t already before and you therefore come to the decision that a mountain bike holiday is a great plan. The kids are all excited and your wife decides that it might be a good idea after all. At least this way with a mountain bike break she decides that she may actually get to spend some time with you at least.
You stuff the back of the car with the children and help your wife settle into the front seat. Next, you make an attempt to bring all the stuff that has been piled into a heap out to the car and begin stuffing it into the boot in no particular order.
The next thing you do is to get everyone’s mountain bikes from the garage and strap them to the back of the car and to the roof before getting in yourself and setting off.
Does it have to be like this every time – no it doesn’t It can be said that mountain bike vacations could do with a little more time setting-up beforehand.
{Firstly, it’s important to remember that mountain bike riding isn’t just a case of hopping on and pedalling off. The bikes themselves need lots of careful preparation and maintenance before a holiday like this. Without it, the bikes may be dangerous to use, especially if they’ve been sat in the garage for long periods of time.} {Who knows what condition the mountain bike is in after long periods of time sat in the garage. Like all machines, if they are left for too long they can begin to seize-up and suffer from rusty moving parts. It makes great sense to make sure that the mountain bikes are not rusted up and that the moving parts are loose and well oiled.} Especially for the children, it is the parent’s responsibility to make sure that the mountain bike is well oiled and rust free to prevent accidents.
It is also vital that other kit such as puncture repair equipment is packed to include spare inner tubes, patches and of course a bicycle pump. Water supply when riding a mountain bike is also absolutely essential to ensure and so taking enough water bottles really important too. Other emergency supplies could include spare bulbs and batteries for bike lights and head torches.
