Mountain biking began in the mid 1970s in California. Bikers, speedily racing down the mountain terrain of Mount Tamalpais, easily busted up their road bikes because the frames were too weak, the brakes couldn’t maintain enough pressure, and the shocks, wheels and handlebars were all wrong. The bikers discovered though that old 1950s-era cruiser bikes, which had wider, heavier, and sturdier frames and thicker tires made a much more suitable option. These bikes, which they called “clunkers” were the first mountain bikes and were much more suited to rocky, bumpy mountain descent. Mountain bikes today are categorized to classes based on their suspensions, as well as the different races and styles of racing and activity that they would be used for.
