Mountain Bike! Southern California, 3rd: A Guide to the Classic Trails

Customer Review: Good book and good selection of trails
Very well organized. The information is easily accessible and browseable. A little more detail on locations of trails in each area would be good (i.e. a general map for each area), maybe with GPS coordinates…
In any case a must if you live in South California.
Customer Review: Colorfully written, detailed guide to mountain biking in CA.
I look for three things in guidebooks. 1. Advice that won’t get me lost. 2. Information on stuff I didn’t know about before. 3. A sign of wit or humor. All of these matter, and I’m happy to say they’re all abundantly presented in this book. Compared to a lot of the regional mt. biking books, this one is superior. The trail directions are clear, the histories & backgrounds are enlightening, and best of all, it’s not boring or geeky. The maps are good too; unlike other books, they have a new map for each new route, instead of cramming three routes onto one dinky page. I also get the feeling that these authors worked a little harder than a lot of guidebook writers, who seem to hit one area then try to milk four rides out of one trail. In contrast, this book seems to cover a vast area with a lot more discrimination. The rides I’ve done so far have been fun and easy to follow. What more can you ask?

Customer Review: Not bad for what it is. You’ll need help or experience to assemble it.
I was intrigued by the endorsement and the fantastic price. I figured it ahead of time for a Dynacraft (Walmart) and it was. As with all Walmart type bikes it was poorly protected in its box and arrived scratched and with a broken brake handle. I’m a bike mechanic so finding a spare handle was no problem and the scratches were cosmetic only.
The bike is pure Walmart quality, meaning standard but functional components. It does have a 3-piece crank and decent Tektro copy brakes however.
Assembly took 45 minutes (unusually long for me) because both rims needed to be trued, the brakes and dérailleurs adjusted and re-torquing of several connectors.
I do like the bike though. It’s not as heavy as I thought it would be (sub 30lbs) and rides and handles rather well. It’ll be an excellent short-commuter and gravel path bike. It’s definitely not for mountain biking but, for what I paid, its not bad at all. And it does have the ‘Tony Hawk’ logos. Just be prepared to do a lot more than put on a wheel and go for a ride when it arrives.
Customer Review: Good bike
I received the bike very quickly, it came with instructions for the minimal assembly required as well as the tools needed. The brakes and gears do require some tweaking, many parts had to be loosened and adjusted, and the chain comes without grease. If you are not familiar with bicycle assembly you may be better off taking it to your local bike shop. Once i put it together and made all the proper adjustments i have no complaints. It is a smooth riding bike with a sturdy frame. If there are any problems in the future, the forks/frame have lifetime warranty and all other parts are under a 2 years warranty.

Pacific Capeland Men’s Cruiser Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

Rider Mels Mountain Bike Guide to Moab Customer Review: Fabulous Book!
This is a great mountain biking tour guide of one of the world’s most beautiful places, if even you aren’t going there you will love the book. I love his rating system for the rides and descriptions of the hardness of the rides e.g., “this is a trail for people who think body piercing is fun.” But be aware that Moab is a place that has a different rating scale for hardness and beauty than other places. If the book describes something as extremely scenic its more likely to be mind boggling, and intermediate difficulty is often intermediate for professionals, the layout of this book is great. Highly recommended. He has a website that nice to check out too, just do a google search.
