    • A refresher that brought back my excitement
Format: Kindle
This isn't really new to me since I used to ride trails with my neighbor when we were younger but when he moved away I stopped and reading this made me realize how much I actually missed it! It covers everything from skills and trails to gear, fitness, bike repair and even e-MTBs and it honestly feels like a refresher that brought back my excitement.. Now I'm seriously thinking of riding again this weekend with some friends who turned out to be cyclists too. Maybe it's time to get back on the trail. ... show more

    • Smart Riding Wisdom for Those of Us Who Still Love the Trail
Format: Kindle
I’ll admit it. These days, I read bike books with one question in mind: Will this help me ride longer, safer, and still enjoy the ride? Mastering Mountain Biking answered that better than I expected. I was going through it on my Kindle one morning and found myself highlighting sections on technique and trail awareness that felt especially useful for riders who value control over speed. What stood out to me most was the practical tone of the writing in this book. It presents information in a steady, realistic, and respectful manner for people of different fitness levels. The layout makes it easy to return to, and I bookmarked a chapter on bike setup that made immediate sense for comfort and confidence, and that I can use to keep my bike in good condition. When I finished, I wasn’t thinking about pushing harder. I am 70 years old. I was thinking about how this book helps me ride smarter and stay on the trail for a few more years. I don’t have a lot of falls left in me, and I want to make the best of all of them while I can. The information in this book will help me accomplish that quest. ... show more

    • The Bike Manual My Son and I Didn't Know We Needed
Format: Kindle
I bought Mastering Mountain Biking for my 12-year-old son who’s recently become obsessed with biking with his friends around the mountain that we live on. I mean full-on "wakes up early on weekends to tinker with his bike" kind of obsessed. As a single mom, I don't have all the answers when he asks me about brake adjustments, gears slipping, or how to ride a trail without flipping over the handlebars. This book has been a total blessing. What I love most is how accessible and empowering it is. It’s not just for hardcore adult riders—it breaks things down in a way that’s perfect for a young teen trying to learn independently. My son flips through the sections on trail safety, gear, and even fitness tips, and then runs outside to try them out. The repair section has been gold—he actually fixed his derailleur last week without asking for help (or YouTube!). This book has given him confidence, not just as a rider but as a problem-solver. And honestly, it’s given me peace of mind knowing he’s learning how to ride smart and stay safe. It’s like having a patient, knowledgeable biking mentor in book form. Highly recommend for any young rider—or any mom who wants to support one. ... show more

    • Terrific Resource
Format: Kindle
Mastering Mountain Biking is a terrific guide to all you need to know about mountain biking. It's an informative read that goes into several aspects of mountain biking like the gear you'll need, fitness and training, maintenance of your bike. I found the chapter on safety to be the most important because sometimes people tend to do more adventurous sports like this without taking the proper preventive measures. ... show more

    • Was this written by AI???

Totally written by AI and not a real human. Bought this as a gift for my mountain bike enthusiast husband. He’s not a beginner, but also not an expert, so i thought it might have some helpful info for him. Not even 5 minutes into the book he looks at me and asks if it was written by AI. He said the tips and stories had the voice of AI, and the pictures/sketches looked like AI generated art that seems cool at first, but actually don’t make sense. I looked at the book and he’s right!! Each section follows a weird pattern of 3 vague bullet points, and the last bullet point is an example with a 1 sentence story featuring a generic name person doing exactly what the previous bullet points said. Definitely returning this book. It MIGHT have some valid info in there, as would asking ChatGPT tips on mountain biking, but I’m not spending $15 on something that might have been created through AI. ... show more

    • Helpful, informative, easy-to-follow
Format: Kindle
I got this book for my friend, who has arthritis but still loves mountain biking. He was wanting to learn more about electric assist mountain bikes and I got him this. He found the information super helpful, especially the section on eMTB techniques. The whole book is laid out in a way that’s easy to follow, and it covers everything you’d need to know. He also liked the chapters on bike maintenance and repairs, which give great advice on what tools to carry in case something breaks. The author explains things in a simple, easy-to-understand way, with personal stories that make it more relatable. ... show more
