Gravel Bikes
One of TVMTBC’s most respected members, who is always an early adopter, bought a gravel bike in late 2018 and rode it at every opportunity, each time extolling its virtues and adaptability. Even though I witnessed this first hand I was not convinced gravel biking was any more than a fad and possibly an over-rated fad at that.
