Mountain biking

Mountain biking is a relatively new sport for Europe, which is gaining more and more fans. However, in the West, and especially in the United States, it has been practiced for years. It is America that is the birthplace of the sport - in the 1970s, "crazy" enthusiasts appeared in California who remodeled their wheels, putting on thick tires and other "enhancements" so they could go down with them the slopes of the mountains. This is the beginning. Since then, mountain biking has started to develop at a rapid pace, and these first enthusiasts are the driving force. Today, they own well-known bike companies. Along with them, major bicycle manufacturers are involved in the development of the sport. Today, there are a huge number of companies involved in this sport in the world.

To date, this sport is one of the most popular, especially in North America and Europe. This is due to many reasons. First of all mountain biking is very healthy and also quite interesting. In addition, for "crazy heads" it offers huge doses of adrenaline. This sport is liked by many groups of people because of its diversity - it has several different disciplines, some of them with their own varieties, which means that everyone can choose the type of riding that suits him the most. The popularity of the mountain bike itself and its capabilities also merit its popularity. Although the mountain bike is designed for the mountains and feels "in the water" there, it is no less convenient for urban riding, especially in the quality of  East European streets, and there is no obstacle to use it as a touring bike for asphalt hikes. All this makes mountain biking a universal sport and contributes to its development and popularity.
