I got a new bike this weekend. A few of my cousins and myself hit up Wissahickon Park in Philadelphia, PA; only like 10 minutes across the bridge from us in Jersey . I thought it was going to be easy mode and I was mistaken. I was dying trying to get up those hills and trying to keep up with them In all I really had a good time and I see myself becoming addicted fast but first I need to get my endurance up.
Anyways on to my point. When I got my bike I didn’t get a helmet because I was running short on cash. But after going down the bike trails and running over all those huge rocks I realized how important it really was.
Can you guys suggest a descent helmet for someone that’s going to be just going casually on the weekends? Also can you suggest a good camelback?
I got everything from a Local Bike shop that just opened. I think i got a good deal. 2006 Jamis Durango $362.00 Trunk Mount 2 Bike rack $75.00 [font=Arial]Dont know the brand[/font]
Camelback Info: You can shell out more money for an original "Camelback", or buy cheaper generic brand hydration packs. I've had both, and there is not much difference. For me, 2 liters (appx 70 oz) is good for about 3 hours in the hot Summer sun - go larger if you plan on more riding time than that. Consider how much tool/accessory storage you will actually need.
