Question

Post Body

Hi everyone; so it’s been about a year since I’m interested in starting mountain biking. As you may know, it is an expensive hobby; and before I start ruining myself buying the equipment, I have a few questions:

I’ll be buying a day pass and rent a bike at a local trail but: - is it “okay” to bike with running shoes ? (at least the first time) - If I were to buy a biking shoe (to not destroy my running shoes), what’s the most affordable and okay one on the market ?

Additionally, do I need any special gear for my first time ?
