Oh, and the beginner trail was nothing short of very fucking difficult. Steep inclines, roots raised 3 inches out of the ground every couple of feet, giant rocks protruding from the ground, and leaves whipping you in the face (should have worn goggles+full face helmet to be honest). Those hills killed me. Especially since I couldn't get lower than 3rd gear on my bike. This is why you should never buy a department store bike - it can literally kill you. I've heard stories of handlebars snapping in half, rims caving in just from a curb, and the most common (as with my bike), gears change at complete random and can even skip - so you wind up pedaling hard to get going, but then the chain skips and you foot goes flying, then it hits you in your shin, then you go flying forward over the handlebars. This has happened several times to me so far. NEVER EVER EVER EVER BUY A DEPARTMENT STORE BIKE FROM PLACES SUCH AS DICK'S, TOYS R' US, WALMART, K-MART, SEARS, ETC. ETC!
