In 1977, a group of cyclists in Northern California modified their existing bikes with wider tires and better brakes to tackle rough off-road terrain.

To remove pedals from a mountain bike, first, ensure that the bike is stable and balanced. Then use a pedal wrench or a 15mm wrench to loosen the pedal in the opposite direction of its rotation (i.e., counterclockwise for the left pedal and clockwise for the right pedal). Once loosened, unscrew the pedal from the crank arm and repeat the same process for the other pedal. If the pedals are stuck due to rust or dirt build-up, lubricate them with penetrating spray oil before attempting to remove them.
