What stuff do I need when mountain biking?

Of course the more you involve yourself in the sport, the more 'essential stuff' you discover you need. But here we will go through all the basics needed for getting started in mtb.

1. Helmet
2. Gloves
3. Protective glasses
4. Pump and puncture repair kit
5. Cycle shorts

I'm so jealous of this guy getting to live the dream....

I can't see Leo Varadkar stepping up to do a stunt like this but wouldn't it be great if someone would!

Those people who think they can park in cycle lanes just don't get the message.

Unfortunately there are people like this guy out there so be careful people when cycling on the roads...

This exactly what I always wanted, a multi purpose bike trailer!

Check out the video below...

One of Ireland busiest roundabouts was closed off by Gardai for a short period to allow for this fantastic cycle flash mob. Although the meaning of the clown theme is open to interpretation. Maybe they are referring to the clownish manner of the design of some of the cycle lanes around the city or maybe the message was "don't be a clown get out of your cars onto your bike!".

Either way I'm so happy that the authorities agreed to such an event and looking at the video at least some of the motorists seemed happy about it.
