  • Answer:

    Look for a off-road bike assoc. in your area. Go to your local bike shop and get fitted for a bike that will work for your needs. Test ride plenty of bikes until you feel you have one that is comfortable. Determine if you want hardtail or a full suspension. Is you area hilly or a lot of flat single track? As for helmets Louis Garneau, Bell and Giro make great helmets. They will range in price from about 40 to 200. Protection is there but the higher you go the more it gets into aerodynamics and ventilation. Anyone advises you not to wear one pop em in the mouth(not really) To get better you have to put the saddle time in or a trainer in bad weather since the trails will be closed. Good luck w/ your decision
