"Hi! This is Eric from Spin City Cycling in Austin, Texas. I am talking to you on behalf of Expert Village and what we are discussing today is mountain bikes. Mountain bikes are made for off road use. Not just mountains but anywhere you are not on pavement, on rocky terrain, loose soil, mulch or anything like that. Some characteristics that you will find on mountain bikes are that they are going to have nice beefy frames with fit tubing and strong welts to stand up the abuse of riding off road. Generally you are going to have a fairly upright riding position so that you can see what is coming ahead of you. You will also find suspension on most mountain bikes these days. So you've got either a fork on the front that soaks up some bumps. Sometimes you will have suspension in the rear and we'll talk about that in another clip. You may find mountain bikes have suspension on the seat posts. This is all to absorb some of the bumps that you will run across if you are riding. Thick knobby tires on mountain bikes designed for traction and to give you stability when you are riding in mud or rocky conditions. Also you will find that the gearing on mountain bikes is designed to allow you to go up very steep hills so in contrast to some other bikes that are made for more top end high speeds, mountain bikes are designed to give you lots of low end power if you are going up a hill or through some mud or mulch or something like that. So hopefully you've learned something about mountain bikes. Thanks for watching. "
