I bought a Diamondback Bicycles - Wildwood Citi Classic (comfort bike) and the sales rep told me it was good for mostly road use but also lite trail use. After using it on a trail last weekend I realized the fun in trail riding (see trail in video below). So now I'm wondering if my bike can handle weekly trail use.
I don't want to ruin my bike if it's not built to handle the trails. I wouldn't be jumping or getting crazy, but wouldn't mind mild trails.
And unfortunately another bike ( used or new ) isn't in my budget right now.
heres the trail I rode my bike on. sorry for the crappy video quality. actual video not nearly this bad, the youtube transfer was not kind.
0:25 minute mark - hello Mr Jogger
2:01 - bumpy roots
2:42 - bumpy ride from wood buried in trail
4:01 - trying to dodge roots before drop
4:46 - look out, coming through
