Mountain Bike Rider

Any semi-serious biker needs to know certain things 1) where can I ride? 2) how can I ride it better 3) how do I fix the bits I will break or wear out on that ride, and 4) how good is that new bit I want to buy to replace the bit I broke/wore out? 5) where can I get that bit and how much will it cost? With these 5 things in mind MBR is an excellent source of information, pull out graded route guides (with maps), featured rides and news of new trails tell you where you can go (not the easiest of tasks recently due to Foot & Mouth). The recent addition of a technique section (and the fitness section) help you how to ride it better and faster. The workshop ...  Read the complete review

Mountain Bike magazine does not seem to be aimed at people who actually ride mountain bikes. The target audience seems to be people who are obscenely wealthy, who collect very high end mountain bikes. I am not one of those people. I ride a GT Backwoods, with a few modifications that I have made myself. I ride singletrack, fire roads, and sometimes on pavement. I read mountainbike magazine's to find tips on better riding techniques, maintenance help, reviews of products, and stories about mountainbikers. This magazine doesn't seem to feature any of those things. What passes for product reviews in this magazine are glowing endorsements of ...  Read the complete review
