Mountain biking is a type of recreational activity that involves the use of a specially made bicycle appropriate for riding on rough trails. This activity comes with its own kind of risks for both beginner and experienced bikers. Here are a few pieces of equipment to stay safe while mountain biking: 1. First aid Bikers with knowledge of first aid will find it helpful when there is an accident resulting in concussion, broken bones, or sunstroke. Also, bikers should always ensure they have their first aid kit attached to their frame before starting. Additionally, it would be a great idea to carry water since a mountain biker without access to sufficient water may suffer dehydration. 2 Safety equipment Before starting, bikers should ensure their cycling gear are complete. They will need a pair of gloves to offer a more firm grip on the bicycle handles, suitable cycling clothes to protect them from the weather, and extra gear like knee and elbow pad for protection against cuts and scrapes. Also, wear goggles to offer protection from the sun's glare and other flies or dirt that might enter the eyes. Furthermore, ensure to wear the right cycling shoes; it could be flat or clipless depending on the bike's pedals. 3. Helmet Wearing a helmet is overly essential for every biker. Ensure to wear a properly-fitting, high quality, well-adjusted riding safety helmet no matter how uncomfortable it may feel. Since mountain biking is a dangerous activity done on rough terrain, obeying this safety rule will save the biker's life when an accident occurs.
