The History Of Mountain Bike

Mountain bikes are bicycles specially designed for cross-country (hills, trails, wilderness and gravel roads, etc.). It was born in San Francisco on the West Coast of the United States in 1977. At that time, a group of young people who were keen to ride beach bikes on the slopes of the mountain, suddenly thought: "If you can ride a bike down the mountain, it must be very interesting." So they started the design of the cross-country bike and officially named it as a mountain bike. It was after two years. Since then, "downhill competition" has emerged as a new event in sports competitions. Athletes ride mountain bikes to downhill at a high speed along a prescribed downhill route. The faster one wins, attracting many fans. Although bicycles started in Europe, the mountain bikes invented by the Americans have swept away the traditional concept of bicycles, blowing a new wind all over the world. Now it has been liked by more and more Chinese young people, and it has become a healthy and fashionable sport and is welcomed by people.
