Geometry of a 29er :: Is It For You?

.
In the cycling world, innovations that change the way we think about and ride bikes don’t come along often.  While 29″ wheeled mountain bikes are obviously here to stay, not everyone has come around to the idea.  As a matter of fact, there are still staunch opposers of big wheels. Taking a 29er on a test ride is the best way to see the difference for yourself.  But for some, especially small riders, getting a demo opportunity can be tough.  [...]

Ride Food: Banana Oat Bars
