While I love to go on "gravel rides", I've never been the biggest fan of traditional gravel bikes. Sure, they've come a long way since the early days when they really were just a road or cyclocross bike with slightly wider tires, but I still find them pretty limited in their scope.
Gravel riding itself covers a wide variety of terrain and riding styles, but when most brands put out their gravel line it's typically a rigid, drop bar bike with fairly steep geometry and clearance for tires in the low to mid 40mm range. That might be the perfect bike for the gravel racing scene, but what about the majority of the people out there who AREN'T racing?
In this video I talk about my experience with traditional gravel bikes and explain why I'm pretty sure I'll never own one.
