IDENTIFICATION

Mountain Bicycles . Mountain bicycles are designed to give maximum comfort over a wide variety of road surfaces. The wider
handlebars and convenient shift lever position make them very easy to control. Wider rims and tires give them a softer ride with
more traction on rough surfaces. The frame and fork on mountain style bicycles are much sturdier than those on racing style bicycles.
