gummibear Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I was reading on the Munga thread that only mountain bikes would be allowed. What is a mountain bike?A few years back it was pretty simple but how is a mountain bike defined now?
porqui Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 This could be interesting - although Friday is around the corner.
Old school Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) A bike that rides off road without the difficulties of riding with a roadbike. MTB A mountain bike or mountain bicycle (abbreviated MTB or ATB, for all-terrain bicycle) is a bicycle created for off-road cycling. Mountain bikes are typically ridden on mountain trails, fire roads, logging roads, and other unpaved environments Edited June 12, 2014 by Mercx

fabs Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 An MTB is a recreational bicycle with granny gears for young people
Stevief Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 MTB actually stands for Multi Terrain Bicycle and not "Mountain Bike like we call it.
