Mountain Bikes

Mountain Biking.

An incredibly popular and well suited to the Australian Climate, MTBing is a great way to keep fit and see the best bits of Australia (with Adrenaline).

Here's some links to get you on your way:

www.farkin.net is Australia's largest forum, very OCAU feel about it

www.mtbreview.com where people research parts and bikes

www.bicycles.net.au has many links to online shops, tours and clubs in each state

Australian Magazines: Australian Mountain Bike (AMB): Australias oldest (15+ years and largest circulating magazine, tries to cover all aspects of the sport, comes out Bi-Monthly on the even months.)

Mountain Bike Australia: Run by bicycling Australia (Roadie mag) an relative newcomer, every 3 months may have a more begineer feel about it.

Freewheel: Comes out when it comes out. approx every 3 months nice printing but you've got to already really be in the sport to appreciate it.

Revolution. Every 3 Months as well, nice paper, nice feel, nice look. Would loose begineers and is aim more at the core riders

Clict. Every 3 Months, more Downhill focused.
