Mountain Biking: Be Prepared

Check out this clever way to share mountain biking news: see if you can be fooled.

I’ll admit that I was tricked by this mountain biking video; how about you? If you were, that’s okay, because what’s really important is the message behind the video – that awareness counts in mountain biking and that you need to watch out for other cyclists, as well as being aware of your surroundings at all times.

When it comes down to it, mountain bike protective gear is all about being prepared for whatever happens.

For example, it isn’t enough to wear your mountain bike helmet only when riding downhill; you need to wear your helmet whenever you ride. To quote Kevin Tisue of About.com: Mountain Biking, “I’ve gone down just as many times, if not more, while going up as I have while going down. Furthermore, it’s not hard to figure out that one rider is almost always going up in a head on collision.”
