Did you know that mountain bikes first started out as a tool?
Prior to the idea of mountain biking as a recreational activity, “off-road” style bikes were used for transportation over rough terrain. One of the earliest examples of this was their use by Buffalo Soldiers headed from Montana to Yellowstone during the 1890s. The design of these 19th century bikes was a far cry from the sophisticated gearing, shock, and brake systems that mountain bikes have today, and they were much heavier and much slower. But, they got the job done.
Nowadays we are having great fun with our mountain bikes in Stockholm forests. Lucky for us, it’s right next door to our office that is located south of Stockholm; 10 minutes by tube from the very center. Join us for a true adventure of MTB 🚵🚵🚵
