Mountain biking: a sport that started as a humble pastime and evolved into a global phenomenon, capturing the hearts of thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. At MoreBikes.ca, we're not just purveyors of high-quality bikes; we're enthusiasts and historians of this adrenaline-pumping sport. Join us on a journey through the rugged trails of mountain biking's history and how MoreBikes.ca contributes to this ever-evolving adventure.
The Humble Beginnings
It all began in the 1970s in California, where a group of friends started racing down mountain trails on old, reinforced cruisers. These pioneers of the sport laid the foundation for what would become a worldwide sensation. Fast forward to today, and mountain biking is a diverse world encompassing various styles, from cross-country to downhill and everything in between.
The Canadian Chapter
Canada's foray into mountain biking began in the majestic landscapes of British Columbia. It's here, on the challenging trails of Vancouver's North Shore, Squamish, and Whistler, that mountain biking found a second home. These locations are not just geographical coordinates; they're sacred grounds where the sport's culture and technology continuously evolve.
