At the most basic level, Trials Riding can be summed up as bicycle handling skills. It evolved from Motorbike Trials Riding (riding up, over stunts, man-made or natural) into a off-season bicycle past time. It now has a strong, though small following and can be seen world wide. Skills taken from Trials riding can be used pratically on any bicycle for balence, standing still while still on the pedals, braking, and many other uses. Trials-specific bicycles are usually modified mountain bikes (good brakes, light with little extra baggage) or modified BMX bikes.
