Here at mountain bike hippo, we need our hippo’s to be safe, and to return safely. But you know, anything can happen. It’s important to get the correct gear and good gear.
Wear a helmet: This is the most crucial piece of safety gear. Choose a helmet that fits properly and is certified for mountain biking.
Wear protective clothing: Consider wearing elbow and knee pads, as well as gloves, to protect yourself from scrapes and falls.
Check your bike before each ride: Ensure your brakes are working properly, your tires are inflated correctly, and your chain is lubricated.
