People started Mountain biking in Marin Country, California. The year in which it was invented was 1970. The first types of mountain bikes had coaster brakes, which meant they were slower at stopping the bike. This is what led to more accidents than there are now. The first types of mountain bikes were also called clunkers. They could way up to 250 pounds!

The tires of mountain bikes are flat for rouge terrain. Also mountain bike tires have very deep treads. Some mountain bike treads look the same as tires and the treads of farm tractor’s tires.

Mountain bikes have a lot of different gears and speeds. Some bikes have fifteen, eight, and twenty-one speeds. Most mountain bikes have “click shifting”. This means the rider is able to shift gears faster while knowing what gear that they are in with out looking down.
