Mountainbikes

Mountainbikes, also known as MOUNTAINBIKES.MID, 115_Bikes, Mountainbikes.mid, MtnBikes or Riding Bikes is a cheerful, sporty, fast-paced midi file that was composed by Passport Designs, a company known for composing the popular 90s midi files, Passport & Canyon.

The song has a duration time of 1 minute, 29 seconds (1:29). It plays at 158 BPM.

Loading this midi file up in certain midi editing software also reveals that it has a cue titled "Riding Bikes :59", revealing that the midi's true name is "Riding Bikes".

However, the RMI version has a different cue, "MtnBikes 1:29", proving that the song also goes by the name of "Mountain Bikes".

It is possible that the RMI version is older than the .mid version, but there is no other proof backing this up, other than the older-sound song title found on the .rmi version.

Packard Bell RMI Version
Another version of Mountainbikes.mid can be found hidden away on a Packard Bell Microsoft Multimedia Pack for Windows 1.0 CD.

The Mountainbikes midi file found on this CD has a few noticeable differences:
 * The midi file has been converted into an RMI midi file; it has a .rmi extension instead of .mid
 * The "Riding Bikes 1:29" cue has been removed and has been typed into the Midi Comments instead, and has been changed to say "MtnBikes 1:29"
 * The midi file has had three empty tracks added to it, all set to Channel 12, using Grand Acoustic Piano.
 * An Out of Tune piano track has been added
 * The Lead 2 (Sawtooth) has been duplicated and has been changed into a Trumpet
 * The String Ensemble 1 has been duplicated and has been changed into an Electric Guitar (Jazz)
 * The Slap Bass has been duplicated and has been changed into an Electric Bass (Finger)

Listen to Midi
Since the midi file was designed to run on an OPL soundcard such as an OPL3, the midi file will sound drastically different on newer versions of Windows and Emulators since they use a Roland Wavetable General Midi soundcard.

(Note: If you're using Google Chrome or Opera, the midi files will download instead)
