Michelle's review of Extreme Mountain Biking

I think mountain bikeing is cool but,I would never ride one they could be dangerous.This book was good.I think the wooden Bike was cool too.Baron kalvon Drais invented the wooden bike but on the wooden bike there wasn't any pedals, so they pushed and stopped the bike with their feet. I thought that the mountain bikes would be dangerous, but they're not because they have two wheels of equal size. This bike had 10 gears. The most common of these bikes were the 10 speeds.Most bikes had either 1 gear or no gears or maybe up to 6 speeds. Mountain bikes are lightweight. Extreme mountain bike racers use their skills to win races, but they also keep safety in mind. Racers want to stay free to be successful, these include strength, endurance, and balance. Mountain bike racers attend training camps. All of those things were neat, and this was a really interesting book.
