I Tried Mountain Bike Commuting - How Does it Compare to a Road Bike?

NEXT, my wife tries bike commuting by mountain bike!

I was requested to make a video talking about bike commuting by mountain bike, so here it is! I'll be talking about some of the pros and cons of commuting by mtb, as well as the differences between mountain bike commuting and road bike commuting during my daily commute to work.

Let me know what you guys think as well in the comments! Is commuting by MTB better than a road bike or CX bike?

I can't understand why mtb is not considered a commuter
Up riding position, better grip in wet, comfort on bad roads, and much more fan

I actually prefer to commute by MTB. Anytime I see stairs or anything that resembles a ramp, I just have to send it.

Never knew that those cicadas were actually that loud. I always thought that the sound was exaggerated in anime.

Thank you for showing us the "real" Japan. All we see on TV here is the big cities, crowds, and traffic congestion.

Here in the Philippines, mountain bike is the most preferred bike for commuting.

as a kid I always rode mtb, and after I moved into the city I found out that city bikes were not just a retro-thing from the old days, I always thought commuting with a hardtail was a no-brainer choice. Now I live in a bike-city in Germany and I'm still sticking to my mtb

[Ceejay]

I like how you stay quiet when passing people lol

[theorgazoid]

Those paths go on forever. Would love to live somewhere like that

After commuting for years, I found MTB commuting was not only more enjoyable but way safer.I can't tell you how many times I had to make a quick bunny hop onto a curb, or pull off onto the shoulder to save my A** due to poor drivers, or terrible street conditions. Bent rims, flats, and just plain breakdowns became a thing of the past once I hung up the road bike... FOR GOOD.

At the start, I thought the cicadas were your freewheel. Until you stopped

I started commuting with my 26er mtb this week. I changed the tires with less aggressive knobs and it works great. Great way to save money and develope endurance

[jeannecond]

Watching this ride is almost therapeutic for me.

[greatvedas]

Appreciate that continuous monologue detailing even minutes aspects! Very engaging video. great work mate.

[jesuletus]

I like how you don't talk when passing through other people, it's relatable.

I’m 16 and just had my birthday got my first carbon fiber MTB and ride 10kimeters everyday to school and..I love it

And I am subscribing to your channel now cuz your videos are somehow therapeutic??❤️

The increased braking performance and stability makes it so much more confident in traffic.

[Roollaayy]

no rubbish on the paths. looks extremely clean.

[shred_ninja]

I commuted by mountain bike for about 10 years, didn’t know any different until I bought a road bike and tbh it was SO much faster. However 1 & a half years of that has done my back in and I now have gone back to the MTB for comfort!!

[AJ_Lucas]

Your commentary is really engaging and natural.

[SuperGooner]

Really useful video. I recently purchased my first bike in a long time, a MTB, in London mainly for leisure fun and leisure. But most of the points you raise here are true. Especially about new trails and slightly less worrying about punctures etc
