The Iron horse mountain bikes are premier products of Iron Horse Bicycles, a bicycle manufacturer located in New York. The company was originally called Iron Horse Cycle Company LLC. It was established in 1987. The company has illustrious alumni like Dave Cullinan who won the downhill world championship in 1992.
Others include Toby Henderson and Kim Sonier and Leigh Donovan. Iron bikes' primary focus area is wholesale bicycle production. The categories of production include riding parts and accessories for vehicles, bicycles and tricycles. The company has also diversified into sporting goods accessories.
The company has made itself a prime player in the bicycle business with its innovative designs and its best in class racing program. The company specializes in downhill, free ride and all mountain bikes. The company's distinctive logo features a prancing horse on a mustard yellow background, not unlike the Ferrari logo.
The company has used an excellent pricing strategy to stave off competition. It now has a fleet of over 40 models of bikes which include iron horse mountain bikes, road and comfort varieties, and bike for children and hybrid versions.
The company has used ideas like the innovative top frame design to differentiate itself from other players in the market. It introduced this design in the late nineties and was able to set a benchmark in the industry for a perfect mixture of stiffness and durability. Its frame designs have seen other new ideas like dual suspension models as well.
The company also gave biking fans a taste of the extraordinary when it launched the do-link and four bar frame designs. These were given extremely favorable reviews by the press for the top shelf components.
The Iron horse challenge is another event biking fans look forward to. Ever since it first started in the year 1972, several other events have been added to the original. These include criteriums, circuit races, road races, tours, BMX races, Trials, dual slaloms, team trail rides, and mountain bike races.

Three (3) Wonderful Benefits of Riding a Tandem Bike (Bicycle Built For Two/three)
Tandem Bikes are two-seater bicycles, and although not as common, tandems are also available in a three seater as well.
With a tandem bike, each rider works equally to propel the bike, as one long chair runs through both sets of pedals to drive the rear wheel.
Here are the three most common reasons that a cyclist or cyclists chose to ride a tandem bike over a solo bike:
1. Couples that enjoy riding together but who have different levels of strength and stamina chose a tandem bike because it forces compromise in riding speeds and allows them to always be together or to keep up with the group.
2. A person with a disability who cannot ride a bike on their own would get all the benefits of cycling that they couldn't experience on their own. By riding with another cyclist who can take the lead and perhaps make any riding decisions, it also builds a relationship of trust and is a wonderful experience for the lead cyclist as well.
3. Young children of cyclists are not usually capable of keeping up with the adult and/or are not mature or experienced enough to handle traffic or road limitations. By riding a tandem the child gets the full benefit of cycling as well as learn the benefits of family activities.
The feel of riding on a tandem is different than riding solo. A tandem bike is considerably heavier, and has a much longer wheel base, therefore; practicing with your tandem partner on a quiet street or in a parking lot is highly suggested. Because of the size and weight of the bike, the cyclists need to practice stopping and also swinging wider around turns.
Also, tandems are considerably longer than a regular bike, so you won't be able to carry one on your car using a standard rear-mount or roof rack. With a tandem bike, you will probably need to buy a carrier as well.
Many of the tandem bikes available are in the range of $1500 or more. If this tandem bike is going to be the main bike for adults and they ride quite often year after year, it is important to ask questions and get a bike that handles heavier adults and heavy-duty cycling. This even applies to purchasing any single-use bicycle for any serious cyclists.
However, if used as a family cycle or with young children, there are many well-made tandem bikes or "cruiser" type tandems that are relatively inexpensive and are equally safe and comfortable as the more expensive versions.
Riding a tandem bike with a friend, mate or children is a wonderful bonding experience. You can visit parks and parts of your neighborhood and actually discuss what you see as you are riding. It can be a great learning experience for all the riders while gaining the emotional and physical benefits of cycling. With a little bit of practice, riding tandem can be mastered and open up a new world of cycling for many that would prefer the company or are not capable of riding alone.
Seriously, give it some thought - tandem biking may be the route for you. Happy Cycling!

Choosing my first bicycle. What should i look for?
I am interesting in buying a bicycle for leisure and fitness purposes. I am looking for the comfort and speed of a road bike mixed with the sturdiness of a mountain bike, so something hybrid. Something that can be used to go around town but on the weekends can go wild with. Finally, I am willing to drop $400-500 for one. Can anyone give me suggestions or tips?
Sounds like you know what you want already, so check out the various brands, and find out what they have in your price range, then go to the shops and test ride the ones you are interested in.
If you want to ride off road make sure your tyres aren't too slick.
I wouldn't think that a road bike is particularly comfortable by the way, since it's primary concern is speed, it's designed for a riding posture that minimises air resistance, with your spine leant a long way forward, for comfort you need a bike that allows an upright spine.
Also if your thinking of riding down anything particularly steep off road, I would reccomend making sure the frame shape allows the seet to be lowered quite a lot. So that you can shift your weight back a lot, and also so you can jump off the back easily if you need to
Also tell the people at the bike shop what sort of riding you intend to do they would be able to give you further advice.
