There's a lot of history and information floating around about the origins of mountain bike. .
Did it begin with the Buffalo Soldiers , a turn-of-the-century infantry who customized bicycles to carry gear over rough terrain?
It was August 1896, the riders, black enlisted men and a white lieutenant, rode from Missoula, Montana, to Yellowstone and back, an arduous 800 miles. Their mission: to test the bicycle for military use in mountainous terrain.
Or was it the Velo Cross Club Parisien (VCCP) of France?
Comprised of about 20 young bicyclists from the outskirts of Paris, who between 1951 and 1956 developed a sport that was remarkably akin to present-day mountain biking. These riders juiced up their French 650-B bikes with an extraordinary degree of technical sophistication.
Maybe it was John Finley Scott who was probably the first mountain bike enthusiast in the United States. In 1953 he built what he called a " Woodsie Bike", using a Schwinn World diamond frame, balloon tires, flat handlebars, derailleur gears, and cantilever brakes. John was more than twenty years ahead of his time, and while he remained an off-road cycling enthusiast, at the time there were not many others who shared his passion.
The Mountain Bike Hall of Fame believes that the inception of mountain biking needed to be a continuous series of events that connected with one another as opposed to an isolated incident. Another example, in the early 1970s there were a band of cyclists, The Cupertino Riders, aka. the Morrow Dirt Club, from Cupertino California, 75 miles south of Marin, who were modifying their bikes. They were grafting thumbshift-operated derailleurs and motorcycle lever-operated drum brakes to their klunkers to help them get up and down the south bay hills. They competed against some future hall-of-famers at a Marin County cylcecross race in late 1974, where their technology was noticed. Then they disappeared.
In 1979, Tom Ritchey of Redwood City started building fat-tire frames. Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly, founders of MountainBikes in Marin, assembled the frames into bikes and sold them for about $1,400 each. The sport of mountain biking was born.
By 1989, park rangers were using radar guns to slow down bikers on Mount Tam.
