Many mountain bikers have found themselves in a similar dilemma: Your bike was in the shop and you wanted to ride. Or, your friend came to visit from out of town and either didn’t have a bike or couldn’t bring it on the trip.

Or maybe you’re interested in the sport but don’t want to make a huge investment before you’ve tried it.

We’re here to help answer those questions.
