Have you ever ridden over huge rocks or through grass as tall as a thirdgrader? The mountain bikers from an international biking group sure have! Reporter Ricky caught up with three of them - 18yearold Michael Castellanos, 13yearold Gerardo Mendez, and 16yearold Jackie Luevano - to learn about their experiences with the group.
Ricky:How often do you ride your bikes?
Michael:Every day after school. But I ride on the weekend, too.
Gerardo:I use my bike to get to and from school and to get to my afterschool program. I don't like to ride my bike if it's snowing, though!
Jackie:I only ride my bike in the summer, but when I do, I like to ride three times per week.
Ricky:What's the difference between riding in the city and in the mountains?
Michael:You have to follow more rules and laws when you ride your bike in the city. In the mountains there are laws but not as many.
Jackie:It's harder riding in the mountains, but it's quieter. The hardest part is learning to use your gears (挡). I was used to riding a city bike that doesn't have gears and then when I started to ride in the mountains I had to learn that gears make it easier to ride.
Ricky:What is the best part of the mountain rides?
Jackie:My favorite thing is getting a break from being indoors. After being inside all day, it's nice to enjoy the clean air and feel the wind.
Gerardo:Our group is usually really loud, but when we ride in the mountains, we are quieter and we can hear the birds and the water.
