I've decided 1 to start mountain biking to get in shape and enjoy the scenery around my area, so I took my bike into a cycling shop to get a tune 2 up. My bike was in pretty bad shape, so I wasn't sure if it would serve my needs. However, the man at the shop adjusted my brakes, oiled the chain, fixed 3 my flat tire, and adjusted the spokes 4 in my wheels. He suggested that if I do a lot of heavy riding, I should get self-sealing bike tubes that don't puncture 5 as easily over rough terrain 6. I'm thinking about getting a lighter 7 bike, but my current bike will have to do for now. I also bought a new bike helmet to protect my head in case I fall off the bike or fly over the handle bars on my rides. Finally, I bought a water hydration backpack so I can drink water and still have my hands free to ride.
