Mountain biking at Lake Tahoe can be a
great weekend activity. With several bike trails, single tracks, and bicycle
parks all around the lake, some of these trails can be a bit tricky. These
mountain trails are full of serene landscapers, smooth rides and a lot of
steep, rough inclines. So keep these following tips handy to avoid any terrible
accidents that you may encounter.
1. Don't take your bicycle where it shouldn't be.
Stick to open terrains and existing trails don't trespass on private
property. In case you're uncertain about some area, the Tahoe Area Mountain
Biking Association (TAMBA) proposes that you consult a land manager for better
understanding. Make a point to have every necessary permit beforehand.
2.
Remember that riding in Tahoe resembles riding in
a huge bowl. One can get confused
slowly getting elevated to get those
beautiful vistas or navigating across counties. So remember that gravity will
always draw you down the slope and in the end, cross the street again to get
back to where you were supposed to go.
3.
Always remain on your right side, except if you
are turning left, passing another bike or vehicle, or maintaining a strategic
distance from dangers. Ride graciously and, if riding with a group, ride single
file. Comply with all traffic laws. Stop at stop signs and lights, and use hand
signs to convey your proposed course. Walk your bicycle when utilizing a
crosswalk.
With these tips in hand, you will not only have a rather
smooth ride but will also keep away from substantial dangers that can come
along with mountain biking at Lake
Tahoe. Have a fun trip!
