Synopsis

Author Kevin Garrett, a retired Mechanical Engineer, introduces the sport of Mountain Biking to beginning riders. Convinced that there is much missing in the area of introducing new riders to the sport, he set out to remedy that, and as well, to shed light on technical riding situations for riders of all experience levels.

Key Topics include:
* Riding Form
* Riding Theory
* Foundational Technique
* Technique by Terrain
* Fitment and Tuning
* Upgrading Components
* Physical Limitations and Aging
* MTB Frame Geometry
* Cycling Gear

In addition to presentation of established technique, much of the work is from original analysis of the problems encountered in riding. The author also focuses on the issues encountered by older mountain bikers, an important topic nowhere else addressed.
