Mountain biking Is the most popular bike riding activity practiced here in Tucuman.There are usually many races and one of the most important cycling events in Argentina,The Rally Trasmountain is organized every year , the bikers cross rivers and mountains to arrive and complete the race.Here in Yerba Buena there are lots of places where you can enjoy riding your bike , like Horco Molle where there are uncountable paths and tracks because of this if you are new in this sport and you want to enjoy the trip you have to go with someone that knows the circuits and can take you to places where you can practice,there you can learn how to ride the bike well inside this paths later you will increase your level as rider and you will be able to go to harder paths,but you will need a special bike to succeed in there.

The mountain bikes are bicycles designed for off-road cycling, including jumps, and traversing and steep declines, dirt trails. Bicycles typically used for mountain biking need to have knobby tires for extra traction and shock absorption. In the current century, front wheel suspensionframe tubing, front fork or dual suspension shock absorbers.You will also need some special equipment like one helmet,gloves,confortable clothes and if you want you can buy special shoes that give you more control of your bike, because this shoes sticks to the special pedal and with one easy move you release your feet this is a little more dangerous but it will help you to drive your bike better. This is the result of years of development. has become the norm and full front and rear suspension has become increasingly common among bikes specially equipped. Most mountain bikes share similar characteristics that underscore durability and performance in rough terrain: wide, knobby tires, large

Since the development of the sport,many new subtypes of mountain biking have developed, such as cross-countrybiking, all-day endurance biking,freeride-biking,downhill mountain biking, street riding and a variety of competitions. Each place demands on the bike requiring different designs to suit them. Mountain bikes development has included an increase in gearing, up to 27 speeds, to facilitate climbing and rapid descents. Other developments have included disc instead of V-brakes.Your bike will not do all the job,also you need some personal skills.

This individual sport requires endurance, bike handling skills and self-reliance, and can be performed almost anywhere.There are aspects of mountain biking that you will need to solve your problems by your own because riders are often far from civilization riders learn to repair their broken bikes or flat tires to avoid being stranded miles from help.This reliance on survival skills accounts for the group dynamics of the sport. Club rides and group rides are common, especially on longer treks.
I’ve been mountain biking since i was 9 years old, and in my personal opinion this is one of the best sports I have ever done.It let you know lots of amaizing places and you can make lots of friends.To conclude I would like to add that this is not an expensive sport so its easy to begin.So why don’t you join this sport activity and have some fun?
