ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mountain biking

Mountain biking is riding a special bike with big, tough tires that can take you up and down a bumpy, hilly trail in the outdoors. You can ride on dirt paths, rocky roads, and even over some big hills. Sometimes you can even jump off rocks or do cool tricks to make it even more fun!

Before you start, make sure you have all the gear you need to be safe, like a helmet, gloves, and padding. Then, you can pedal your bike up the hill, just like a regular bike, but this time it might be harder because the hill is steeper than usual. When you reach the top of the hill, you get a reward because you get to ride down the hill, and it feels like you're flying!

But be careful, you need to pay attention to the road and make sure you stay in control. If you go too fast, you might lose control and fall off your bike. And if you hit a big rock or bump, you might feel a big jolt and have to use your muscles to keep going. But don't worry, it's so much fun that it's worth it!

Mountain biking is great exercise, it gets you outside in nature, and it's a fun way to explore new places. So, if you want to try it, grab a bike and hit the trails!
