Madforsport.com, the leading sports website launched a new page that answers to basic questions in mountain biking with Chris O’Callaghan as their resource person.
Chris O'Callaghan, a qualified mountain bike leader who has been mountain biking since 1999 with qualifications in all outdoor education since 1992. Chris and Liam Sheehy run Trail-riders Bike Rental in Ballyhoura Forest (trailriders.ie) with a fleet of 40 bikes in Irelands largest trail network (offering bike hire, kids training camps and adult lessons from trail riding to racing).
Madforsport.com new page covers through the essential information on what you should know about mountain biking. Important information includes picking and buying a bike from a proper bike shop, kinds of bike available and suitable for individual bikers, the appropriate gears to use, and some tips and proper etiquettes on safe biking.
“Always pick and buy a bike from a proper bike shop as there is a lot of non experienced bike shops out there that will sell you anything. Pop to your local trail head and ask any of the bikers. Hardtails are always the best option to learn the basics of mountain biking as it’s a cheaper option but also less weight to be carrying around, remember to pick the right tire choice as too big a tire means more rotational weight”, Callaghan said.
“Wear a helmet and dress appropriately with jackets and footwear. I normally suggest to treat it like a 3 hr hill walk with clothing or food as you are going into the mountains. The rule of thumb on the trails with the mix of abilities is that the slower racer has the right to go at his/ her own pace but when appropriate should pull over to let off the faster racers”’ he added.
Callaghan also suggested some best mountain biking locations in Ireland and safe trails for beginners. The Coillte Biking Trails which can be found on the Coillte and Madforsport.com website were one of the few locations he truly approved.
