  Mountain bikes represent the fastest growing area of the cycle industry. The mountain bike, or ATB (All-Terrain Bicycle) has fat tyres, flat handlebars and 18 gears. It is easy and comfortable to ride and ideal for off-road riding as well as the rigours of the city. This book tells the reader all about mountain bikes and how to get the most from this exhilarating new activity-how to choose a bike to fit his needs, how to ride like the experts, how to look after the bike and how to have a great time cycling in the countryside or the city. A final chapter explores the possibilities of expeditions further afield and includes many tales from the authors' own exploits on mountain bikes in the Himalayas.
