I have used a mountain bike in the mountains of Montana. The y-shaped ATV gun/bow holders work well to attach to the handle bars. They can be positioned before tightening down to best hold your bow. Bow will stay nice and snug. I have also used a shoulder harness and also have attached bow to my back pack. Now one very important thing to remember......if you have a wreck while riding your bike, you might get some good damage to your bow. I think greater damage would result from bow attached to handle bars but then again you could fall on your bow that is hanging from a shoulder strap. Just keep this in mind when making your decision. Luckily this has not happened to me but has happened to others I know. Good luck.
