I guess that, with the development of the Internet from a bunch of computers strung along a small network to a worldwide network of millions and millions of PCs and Macs, you can find anything you want online with just a few keywords and Google (or Yahoo!, or MSN, or AOL, whichever you prefer). I have been a Netizen for almost 6 years now; enough to have observed and experienced several of the significant developments and changes that the Internet has gone through. So why was I surprised when I found out that the sport of mountain biking has its own place on the Internet? And not just a sport, but a burgeoning community of pedaling enthusiasts that spans the globe. Going back to my self-imposed question, why was I surprised to see this? Probably because in my privately-held and biased opinion, I’ve never expected mountain bikers to be Net-savvy enough to build a website, let alone a full-grown network of like-minded individuals. I was certainly proven wrong, and how. Mountain biking is definitely getting more and more exposure on the Internet, and well-deserved exposure, I might add. I’ve discovered that as the popularity of mountain biking grows, so does the range and scope of its presence on the Internet. You can practically find hundreds of websites, blogs, and forums dedicated to the sport. A wide array of topics are being discussed and presented at length in these communities, from bearings to bike meccas. Of course, specialized bike shops catering to the needs of mountain bikers have sprung up as well. But is this a bad thing we’re talking about? Personally, I think not. The emergence of e-commerce has brought along with it an unsurpassed convenience and availability of products and services that your local bike shop will be hard-pressed to match. Unless, of course, your local bike shop has established an online presence as well. Enthusiasts and shoppers are greatly benefiting from the broad selection of products and services that are available from the Internet. Whether you just want to find the best price for that crankset you need, or you’re looking for a cross country frame for your ultimate mountain bike, shopping on the Net can be the best way to go. There are a lot of user-friendly cycling sites to get you started. Most mountain bike websites usually feature helpful hints and tips to guide the less-than-expert shoppers find the products they want quickly and easily. Are you looking for a particular product for your specialized mountain bike? Or perhaps you just want to see all available products from your favorite manufacturer? Online stores like LA Mountain Bikes allow you to search for any item you want using keywords. You can also shop by using the categorized menu. Everything is arranged and laid out to enable shoppers to find and buy products faster and easier.
