The very first MOUNTAIN BIKE TIPS that any bike rider should know, mountain or road biking, is get a helmet that fits properly. It should not turn back and forth or up and down very much or slide down your forehead. Wear it on all rides even if you are just riding down to the end of the block and back home. Some other mountain bike tips are bike riding gloves and some padded riding pants. These 2 things will make your mountain bike riding more comfortable.

Another mountain bike tip is to carry some sort of hydration system. You can use a water bottle or a hydration pack. Most bikes come with a place to attach a water cage to hold your water bottle. With a hydration pack you can carry a lot more water. I put sports drinks in my water bottle and water in my pack.Overlooked Mountain Bike Tips
You would think that most people would know and do this and that would be wear eye protection. Sunglasses is all you need preferably with UV protection and wrap arounds. I see more people all the time not wearing glasses. Another good tip is to wear sunscreen. After one good sunburn you wouldn't forget to on the next ride. These are basic Mountain Bike Tips but you would be surprise how many times they are overlooked. Mountain Bike Tips: Eyewear

Basic Mountain Bike Tips
The mountain bike should fit properly. You should be able to stand with a couple of inch between you and the straddle top bar. The seat should be set at a height that when peddling, there is still some knee bend when the foot is on the low stroke. That will also help in your back comfort and how long you can ride.
