Mountain biking is a great way to get off the beaten path and discover new sites during your trip. A mountain bike is basically 'portable' and it can take you almost anywhere-whether off-road or in urban locations. Mountain biking of course is best used and enjoyed where it is designed for-in bike trails and dirt roads. Before riding your bike and letting the road lead you, always remember to bring your travel insurance with you.
Mountain biking is a bit more edgy than regular bicycles-they require more endurance, handling skills, and self-reliance. It can be enjoyed alone, or together with a group of mountain bikers. Mountain biking usually involves exploring the great outdoors. Broken tires and flat tires are common, thus learning how to repair a tire is a must if you don't want to get stranded in the middle of nowhere.
With mountain comes various risks for danger and injury. Besides environmental elements and wild animals, mountain bikers are subject to overuse and traumatic injuries. Overuse injuries usually result from training errors, improper bike fit, and anatomic malalignments. Traumatic injuries can range from contusions and minor abrasions to wrist fractures, concussions, pelvic fractures, shoulder injuries, and head injuries. Safety gears such as helmets are therefore important. Falls and crashes cause most accidents.
Mountain biking is considered a grade 2 risk sport, with a medium chance for injury. It is very much advised that you obtain travel insurance before engaging in this sport.
