Different bike models require different gear selections. Here is some relevant information about mountain bikes: Mountain Bike: A mountain bike refers to a bicycle designed for off-road riding. It originated in San Francisco on the West Coast of the United States in 1977. It was developed by American youths seeking excitement, who rode bicycles on motocross tracks for stunt competitions. Joe Breeze designed and manufactured nine series of bikes between 1977 and 1978, based on the prototype of the Breeze mountain bike. The original Breeze prototype is now housed in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum in the U.S. Historical Origins: Mountain bikes were specifically designed for off-road travel (hills, trails, wilderness, and gravel paths, etc.) and were born in San Francisco in 1977. At that time, a group of young enthusiasts who enjoyed riding beach cruisers on hillsides had a sudden idea: 'It would be incredibly fun to ride a bike downhill at high speed.' Thus, they began designing off-road bicycles, which were officially named mountain bikes two years later. From then on, 'downhill racing' emerged as a new sport, where athletes ride mountain bikes down designated downhill routes at high speed, with the fastest time determining the winner. This quickly attracted numerous enthusiasts. Although bicycles originated in Europe, the mountain bike invented by Americans revolutionized traditional bicycle concepts and spread a fresh trend worldwide. Today, mountain biking has gained popularity among an increasing number of young Chinese, becoming a healthy and fashionable sport embraced by many.
