What is a 'mountain bike'?

A mountain bike is a 26-inch bicycle, which you can ride on dirt up in the mountains, not like the Tour de France bike that Lance Armstrong uses. You can ride this on dirt, really rocky sections, really steep sections, single-track, and fire road. You can't do that on a road bike or racing bike. Mountain bikes are the type of bikes that you can use to climb on mountains, comfortably and safely, when you're out in the woods with no cars.
