I'm looking for a new hobby. As a kid I used to really enjoy biking. Now I want to take up mountain biking. What is everything I will need to start? What gear and accessories? Also any general knowledge or advice for a beginer would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Step 1. Do you have at least $500 to $550 for a decent entry level bike? Yep, I said entry level.

You'll also need an under-seat bag to store a spare tube, tire levers and multi-use folding bike tool. A good frame pump or mini-pump & of course water bottle cage & bottle.

And don't forget a good helmet. This is a decent one for the price.
