So are you ready for adding a new hobby
in your life? If yes, then this is one of the most adventurous and
awesome hobby which one can have. All you want is a mountain bike, a
good helmet and of course a nearby hill or mountain to climb. Mainly
there are many mountain biking clubs which make all these resources
available to you.
Most of us have weekends to enjoy their leisure time. Why not use this time for usher enjoyment
and thrills? You can do all this by going for mountain biking. There is
no such age limit to do mountain biking. Just you should know how to
ride a bicycle. There are a few costs which you have to spend on.
Some
high end mountain bikes will cost you as equal to that of a non gear
two wheeler vehicle. So the costs are high because these mountain bikes
do have hard tyres which are suitable to the mountain paths. They also
have powerful shock absorbers so that you can get a smooth ride on the
rough roads. The braking system of these mountain bikes are good.
If
the cost of the mountain bike is not enough then there is one more
addition to it. It’s the mountain bike`s helmet. These helmets cost from
1000 to 8000 INR. Now I would say that to go for mountain biking there
is no compulsion that you should own the bike. You can hire the mountain
bike from the dealers. There are loads of mountain biking clubs, mainly
in New Delhi. The number of clubs are increasing. So you just got to
choose a mountain biking club and you can get all these resources.
Ok
now you have your mountain bike, helmet, venue of escalation on a hill
or a mountain. Well I would like to say that you can get a lot of fun to
be with your friends or with people to do this task. Mountain biking
should not be done alone. It has risks involved and to have an
experienced person with you is important. There should be proper guide
with you who can be with you guiding the complete route. There are lots
of challenges.
In some places you got to carry your own mountain bike in your hand. So you got to have that strength with you. There are challenges
like in slippery paths, the mountain bike can get off track. In
mountain biking going off track is the biggest problem which you have to
avoid. So follow your team mate and just go in the way he goes.
Before
going for mountain biking you have to make sure that your mountain bike
is properly maintained. The brakes should be working fine. The use of
brakes is very important in the journey of down climb. Well in some
cases the person who goes in front has to cut down some bushes which are
coming in the way. So that he makes a clear path for all the other
mountain bikers. There are 7 day tours of professional mountain bikers
too.
So
this is adventurous as well as it has all the thrills. This hobby can
be risk-free if properly followed the rules and do it with proper safety
measures using helmet. Mountain biking is also getting slowly popular
in Pune. But if you still want the edge of proper professional mountain biking then you got to start your journey from Delhi.
This
hobby is actually a niche of all the bicycle riders. There are many
groups which take initiative and ride on bicycles for long routes. These
bicycle riders can easily adapt their skills so that they can do
mountain biking. It does need a lot of practice though. But yup, its fun
and it is one of the most challenging hobbies. Even in trekking it
needs a lot of stamina and strength. Same goes for mountain biking.
So what are you waiting for add this hobby in your lifestyle and life will be fun!
