hey!
I just got my first "real" mountian bike last week- Trek 3700 with the "girl style" lower top bar (hardtail. duals were just too much $$ for such a newb like myself.) -and want to learn "technique" so I don't kill myself, look like a total tard, etc etc...
Any decent resources online or whatnot for that sort of thing?
Also, I noticed looking at pics of people on thier bikes and they all have bigger, BMX-ish looking helmets.... I got a "sport" helmet (Trek Vapor 3 WSD). Is that going to do the trick, at least to start?
I got the bike with intention of just riding around wherever- on trails, around the university campus, on vacations, whatever, explore nature, ride out to Geocaches, etc. (I don't really know terminology yet, I just know I wanna ride around and have fun.)
