My Introduction to Mountain Biking
A few months ago, I purchased a Trek 3500 mountain bike to get more exercise. I’ve been loving it. I’ve learned more about my neighborhood (like the fact that there is a Stetson factory less than 2 miles from me). I’ve gotten to see some beautiful sites, like the pictures of Rowlett Creek Preserve I have taken. And learned more about alternative transportation methods.
After buying a bicycle from a local bike shop (Richardson Bike Mart), I will never buy another one from anywhere else. I found out that I had been buying bikes that were to large for me. That helped me select a bike that fit me and my needs.
I can also recommend getting in contact with local bicycling groups that share your interests. The Dallas Off Road Bicycle Association is a great group for people looking to bicycle while off road.
