What made you get a gravel bike?

[Shawn]

I love road biking and I love mountain biking.

I started out as a road cyclist but over the years, all the phone wielding drivers really ruin it for us. So I started riding more on backroads and rail trails with my mountain bike.

The mountain bike is super heavy though.

So I got me a gravel bike. It was what I needed. It made me bike more. It’s way easier to ride on roads and trails than my mountain bike, too

I still use the mountain bike for actual mountain bike trails now.

How about you all? What’s your gravel bike story?
