It's a mountain bike... 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 single track trails, fire roads, logging roads, and other unpaved environments. These types of terrain commonly include rocks, washouts, ruts, loose sand, loose gravel, roots, and steep grades (both inclines and declines). Mountain bikes are built to handle this terrain and the obstacles that are found in it like logs, vertical drop offs, and smaller boulders. Mountain bike construction differs from a typical bicycle in many ways. The most noticeable differences are the inclusion of suspension on the frame and fork, larger knobby tires, more durable heavy duty wheels, more powerful brakes, and lower gear ratios needed for steep grades with poor traction.
sorry that happened, odon. i know your pain. here's my bike that was stolen here's what i replaced it with. it's nice, but i'm nostalgically remembering my old bike...i think i liked it better.
you might want to report it stolen to the police, if you haven't already. slim but non-zero chance that they can recover it. It sucks having shit stolen from you. Hope you get the bike back, or something else good happens to compensate you.
Sorry about your bike, Odon . Both of those bikes are way cool, Pork. I couldn't find a pic of mine, but this is what it looks like. I'm more of a cruiser type of girl. Plus, it literally has my name on it.
Thank You. I like your replacement better. Sorry. I have reported it. The police called me back and asked to talk to my parents. I was like: 'wtf' :frown: Wait. What? You take that back :computer: :tongue: I think mine looks better but his probably performs better. My choice was not a very long process. I bought something else from a second hand shop. It didnt work. Traded it in for the bike. I needed a bike. /end I'm sure a lot more thought went into Porkstock's purchase. Thank You Pardon?
Apparently, one that makes me sound like I am 16 : / Mine has been used A LOT. It was probably a lot better once upon a time.
