depends on where you're riding. Colorado- freeriding through the fresh powder of course, Stratton Mt.- Freestyle, no doubt, my home mt.- both are cool.

First off, I know that I’m going to get tarred and feathered for this and no, I don’t care about getting ten points for the best answer, so don’t feel bad about hating me.\n\nThe answer is this:  Farm and Fleet, Shopko, Walmart, Kmart, heck, anywhere.  \n\nYou don’t need a great bike, or a great pair of cycling sunglasses, or skin-tight, silky shorts (you especially don’t need the shorts!)  Mountain Biking is about attitude (go ahead and correct me if I’m wrong.).  You go out there to cliff hang and skid sideways down 45-degree hills, not to glide on a shiny chrome cloud wearing spandex. You ride rugged, you dress rugged, and you beat up your bike (I call this “breaking it in”)  You’re smart for looking for discounted bikes, I wouldn’t pay $500 for something I don’t want, need, or will be replacing in two years.  Besides, you’re only as good as your equipment is bad.

I don't know of any shops that rent bikes here.  Usually bike rental is more prominent in areas where there is a lot of bike tourism.  I'd just try calling the stores like BikeSource, Trek Bicycle Store and Bike America.  Bike America might have a used bike that they would rent to you for a week.

Red Top Mountain State Park is a great place. I hope this helps

Wow crazy that I randomly saw your post I'm from there originally. It depends on what you are looking for. Concrete trails or mountain biking? For mountain biking drive to Platte river state park and nose around you will find the mountain biking trails (they are actually rated moderate or so and are a blast). For concrete trails with scenery hit the bellevue trail heads at hayworth park or so and the trail will lead you all the way through bellevue into Omaha down 72ND and past on different sections of trail. Local bike shops like the Bike rack will have local trail maps and the staff will be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

A hybrid or a mountain bike.\n\nChoose a hybrid if you want comfort and efficiency first, and the toughness and durability to manage tracks second. The hybrid will not be able to go everywhere that a mountain bike does.\n\nChoose a mountain bike if you're willing to trade on road efficiency for the ability to go anywhere. A mountain bike is not so good for commuting and city-based recreational riding (that said, modern MTBs can be pretty good all rounders and you can always buy a second set of wheels - one lot with city tyres and a set of knobblies for the weekend).\n\nHybrids are sometimes merely mountain bikes with slimmer, tyres. Avoid these, because the frame geometry is wrong for street use. Go to a good dealer and try out genuine hybrids from manufacturers like Cannondale, Specialised and Trek. \n\nWhether you go for a hybrid or an MTB, buy the best you can afford from a well known bikemaker and a good, high end shop. Go for the best componentry you can afford (gears and brakes) because cheap components go wrong or work badly and this will put you off cycling.\n\nI recommend you go for good front suspension, but avoid rear suspension - for your requirement it is pointless, adds weight, goes wrong, reduces ride quality and adds price.\n\nCycling is great sport, great recreation and great transport. Enjoy it!

Just to name a few...\n\nAlps, Himalayas, Rockies\n\nFor more info: http://www.peakware.com/areas.html\n\nAlthough the above link has ALL the ranges (a bit overwhelming) my suggestion, for your homework, is to find the high points of each continent and list that range. Those are likely the 'most important'.\n\nTo get you started:\nEurope: Mont Blanc (or Monte Bianco) (Actually, Russia may have a higher mountain technically in Europe)\nAsia: Mt. Everest\nNorth America: Mt. McKinnley (Denali)\nSouth America: Aconcaqua (SP?) in Argentina\nAfrica: ???\nAustralia: ???\nAntartica: ???

That all depends on what you mean by "best".  If you want a resort with a nice village, lots of shops and great restaurants, then it's probably Mt. Tremblant.  If you're looking for a no-nonsense place with great terrain and a good deal, then it's definitely Jay Peak in Vermont.  Last time I was there (which was a while ago), they took Canadian dollars on par with US, making it a great deal if you're coming from Canada.  It's a fun mountain with pretty much no 'out of bounds' and great glades--they'll let you board the entire mountain.  Also has one of those big aerial trams that goes bottom to top.

I think the longest stretch of bike path on the peninsula and along the bay runs from Milbrae (just South of SFO) to Redwood Shores or Redwood City. Check out the maps at the below URL.
