!: Advantages of Mountain Bikes Over Regular Bicycles - What You Should Know About It

Cycling has and will always be a great sport and a way to enjoy travelling. There are many people around the world who consider paddling to their destination a healthier and a better way than traveling on a fuel powered vehicle.

When we weigh the pros and cons of fuel powered mechanical transport against the two wheeled paddle powered ones there is no match as both have their own advantages and disadvantages with speed, safety, comfort, health effects and pollution. It is just a matter of personal preferences that some choose comfort and speed while some opt for health and environment friendly means of transportation.

When you choose a better way of life for yourself that is healthy and good for your surroundings, you choose to travel on a bike. This gives you health advantages as you get to exercise while you go to places where otherwise you would have reached in a car or a bus without any exercise.

There is a lot of variety in the two wheelers which have their own plus points and utilities. Out of the entire range of bikes, I prefer the mountain bikes because the advantages that they offer are far more than that offered by the regular bikes.

The mountain bikes are far more reliable and durable than any other version. They provide comfort to the user with its full suspension system and better road grip with its thicker and wider tires which never lets the biker slip even on the rainiest and slipperiest of tracks. The frames are made of alloys which are stronger and much lighter in weight than the conventional bicycle frames.

These advantages make the mountain bikes a better choice over the regular street bicycles even for riding around the streets of your town, if you are not interested in the hyper sport which involves the use of these bikes.
