Would one say 'Bergradfahren'? Or is that too obvious?

Show her some pictures! My German is limited to what I picked up at a couple
of beer fests around Bad Aibling. Ein bier bittah? (Spelling?)

dict.leo.org inidicates they use the english word, hence the "das" in
"das Mountainbike.

geländegängig may be an appropriate adjective for "all-terrain," or "off road."

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"😉. Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

Mountain bike in German translates to... 'mountain bike'. Those ingenious
Germans 🙂

Not quite sure what the verb is though. Mountain-bikefarhren would be my
guess.

I was guessing, except for the "Vielen Bier," which should
be known in any language.

Not obvious enough. Mountain Bike is Mountain bike. Somethings don't
even transliterate. Downhiller ... Downhillfahrer

Late and not accurate, but try "Mountainbikevergnugen"

Or more accuratly, "Oma, Ich habe viel lust fur Fahradfahren im Wald auf
kleine pfade - Es heist Mountain Biking. Hast du ein schnapse fur mich?"

Why use one word when a whole sentence will suffice?

Thank you!

I do wonder if my grandmother, who's in her mid-80s and lives in a tiny
town called Sitzendorf in the old East Germany, would recognize the term
....

Ge-what? That doesn't look very German to me. Too many "g"s.

Boozevergnugen!

If you ask the people I ride with, they'll tell you that I'm quite
against drinking alcohol. I never imbibe except for medicinal and
religious purposes = I'm a hypochondriac and biking is a holy
experience.
