Mountain Bike

A mountain bike is a bicycle that is typically used off road, which contains front suspension or full suspension.

Mountain bikes are an adaptation of the Cruiser Bicycle, which features a bigger, stronger frame and larger tires. In the early 80's bike companies started to develop bikes geared more toward off-terrain environments. The features of the bike borrowed from BMX Bicycles as well as Racing bicycles.

First choice you need to make is what kind of rider you would like to be. If you want to ride a few times a month, then its not worth buying an expensive bike. Furthermore, if you really enjoy riding, then you should and can justify spending a little more on a bike.

Next, you need to figure out what kind of terrain you live by or want to ride. For mostly flat terrain, a hardtail mountain bike (only front suspension) will be suitable. But, if you plan on riding rocky terrain, then a full suspension bike is a better choice.
