At first,they took the bicycles up the mountains in trucks,but then one keen cyclist, Gary Fisher,put extra gears on his bike and began using it to ride uphill as well as down. By the end of the 1970s,bicycle manufacturers wcre beginning to develop special bikes for off-road riding.And so the mountain bike was born. Now,mountain bikes have wide,heavy tyres to give a good grip on rough surfaces, and straight handlebars to make the contro!of the steering easier.They are built on smaller,stronger frames than other bikes,because they are often ridden over bumpy ground which would soon damage lighter bikes.

Yellow is a day color with the associations of energy and incentive.For a primitive man, activities during the day meant hunting and attacking,in which he often saw red-the color of blood and rage,and the heart that came with effort.So it was natural that green,the complementary color to red,should be associated with passive defense and self-preservation.

Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with placidity (平静) and calm. In general , blue is a calming and cooling color. It is relaxing for the eyes and cheering for the mind. Yellow is a day color with the associations of energy and incentive. For a primitive man , activities during the day meant hunting and attacking , in which he often saw red - the color of blood and rage , and the heart that came with effort. So it was natural that green , the complementary color to red , should be associated with passive defense and self-preservation. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct physiological effect. Pink , if not overused , has a calming effect. It is believed that an angry person will quiet down when he is shut in a pink room for a few minutes. People exposed to bright red show an increase in respiration rate , heartbeat and blood pressure. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect. It is a calming color. Because of its exciting connotations (内涵)， red is chosen as a signal for danger, that's why most of the warning signs are designed in red. But closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm , so fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.
