The new site has been built as a response to growing demand in the MTB space, particularly among older riders who consider it beneficial to both physical and mental health, according to Bike Astra. The team cites a recent study published by Wright State University, which found that regular cycling can prevent falls, reduce the symptoms of depression, and help with cognition.

Bike Astra features a variety of articles on topics geared towards seniors, such as how to identify safe trails for elderly riders and tips on cross-country riding for those who are looking for more challenging rides. It also features several reviews of the latest senior-friendly bikes and equipment, such as the Thule T2 Pro XT bike rack, notable for its ease of use and tool-free attachment.

With in-depth guides, resources, and tips, Bike Astra aims to support seniors looking to take up or continue enjoying mountain biking. The site explains that it’s a low-impact exercise that helps boost balance, coordination, and overall fitness, while the camaraderie of group rides also provides social interaction. Research from the National Institute on Aging suggests that this social interaction may help reduce the risk of dementia, heart disease, and stroke.

Properly fitted equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable mountain biking experience, says Bike Astra. The site offers seniors advice on finding the best bike for their needs, noting that proper frame size and large wheels can greatly improve control and reduce strain. It also covers the latest technology, such as electric mountain bikes, which can give an extra power boost to help seniors tackle more challenging terrain and expand their range.

In addition to equipment recommendations, Bike Astra has guides for mental and physical preparation before embarking on mountain bike rides. Riders can find tips on visualization techniques to boost confidence, as well as at-home workout routines focused on building core strength and balance through moves like planks, lunges, and squats.

A spokesperson states: “As we age, our need for exercise, fresh air, and a dash of adrenaline doesn’t diminish - and mountain biking ticks all these boxes. So if you’re a senior looking to rekindle your love for the trail or dive in for the first time, this guide is your ticket to ride.”
