Why mountain bikes are so popular and road bikes are rarely ridden

1, in the country, whether it is a mountain bike or a road bike, most of them are still in the city to press the road, commuting exercise with. Riding a mountain bike is not to fuck the mountain; riding a road bike is not to race. So for the people of the country, the bicycle is not a sports tool. The use of mountain bikes and road bikes is not much different;

2, since the use of no difference, that why mountain bikes are popular? I think there are a few reasons:

Mountain bike parts and components of the generality of good, low-cost, low technical threshold, the size of the domestic manufacturers are very easy to start production; a large number of fancy low-end recreational vehicle flooded the market, the price is cheap.

Domestic road base is poor, even if the inner-city roads, but also seams connecting seams, mountain bike has a certain shock absorption, comfort is better; and the habits of the people of the country is the silly big and thick things only feel the real material;

Mountain bike handle bar is wider, handle bar is higher, the rider's body flexibility is not demanding, good maneuverability, adapted to the domestic road traffic environment of the chaotic.

Mountain bikes are easy to install front and rear racks, used to carry people and goods, more adapted to the use of national habits, as a means of transportation to carry goods.
