1. There is no such thing as bike hiking ... if someone says this it means he doesnt know how long you will end up carrying the bike on your shoulders and climbing 20-30 feet of stones.
2. Get yourself ass cheeks and I am not kidding; ass cheeks are the best things to have if you dont want to come back with (for men) your you-know-what at one end. For women I dont know how to put it.
3. "A helmet is not something to make you look good in" and trust it when someone says it esp when mountain biking, you may think the overhanging boulder is a bit higher but nope it aint.
4. Have you seen in movies that the bike goes under the person and you realise when that event has happened how close to the fall you were? Well yeah that happens and a lot so get good brakes.
5. One of the best things is to come off a steep and really smooth road and you reach speeds of upto 60kmph on a cycle; it is far too exhilirating!!
6. Carry more water and lesser accessories; you cant answer phones or text someone or reply (get it Ammy? mmuuaah though love you) when the phone is in the bag.
7. Strangely enough all really tough Qs & suggestions about life and work come right when you are on a 20feet straight-up climb and the climb is curving.
8. Believe in humanity and be optimistic - there were 3 of us and Ken punctured his bike about 15kms away (either way) from human populace. Tom said someone might come and someone did and he had a puncture kit in his bag; that was super cool! And the entire thing took 10 minutes - puncture, someone coming and getting the puncture repaired.
9. Have a light and small bike; you dont want a high cenre of gravity and you dont want too heavy a weight to carry around.
