The All Road Bike is THE Road Bike

On Saturday we rode some Industrial Gravel and country roads making a loop to East Akron, through Springfield, Mogador and then out to Kent. We did this all from our "gravel bikes". I don't really like the term gravel bikes but all road bikes are just the way to go for most riding.

Good morning Tim. I enjoy the industrial gravel rides. Mad Max with bicycles.

A thousand miles in July! Most impressive! I struggled to get 300 in May. Of course, I teach high school Agriscience so May is my busiest month of the year. So it was tough on me and the family! I had to promise my wife that I would not take on anymore St. Jude Challenges in May. LOL!
The scenery was different. I enjoy the industrial rides occasionally. We live about an hour from Chattanooga, TN and they have this awesome paved trail called "The Tennessee Riverwalk." It wins in & out of natural areas, abandoned & current industrial sites, and residential areas. About 15 miles, running all along the Tennessee River, then an additional 12 or so miles that run along a creek. In all, you can park at one end, ride it all in an out & back and get over 50 miles. And the best part to me is that you just have to worry about traffic at the crossings. People in my part of the country just do not see a lot of cyclists on the roads, so they do not look for them. They are too busy looking at their phones. I avoid road riding all that I can.

Hey Tim! Thanks for using my music! Enjoy the channel! I ride a little, mostly been a runner, but bad knees may put me on a bike more now!

I've noticed the term ATB seems to be a bit divisive for some reason...? I love it! Especially in reference to the mid 80's mountain bike (my personal fav) but any bike really with enough tire clearance for descent volume tires and provisions for racks and fenders, there's plenty to be said for comfort and versatility! Long live the ATB! haha!
Great vid again and congrats on the 1000 miles!

I just missed getting 1000 miles for July ... 960. My commute to work is 40 miles round trip. I skipped a day for a reason I don't remember, I think maybe it was a dentist appt. Grrr! Foiled! Congrats on your 1000 miles. I too did the C&O-GAP ride, early June, DC to Pittsburgh. Great ride!

Congratulations getting your mile goal. I agree I love a all-purpose bike. What is cool is that can mean what bike you like to ride.

[tardigrada]

PBR nice. I could see myself riding a 1000 miles... in 2 years.

Hello!! Congrats on 1000 miles this month. I also ride a 90s mountain bike gravel conversion. Which 26 inch tires are you using. I am always looking for a good tire. Right now I run the Panaracer Gravelkings and they have been great, but it's always good to have options. Let me know if you can. Thanks!!

love love love the 26wheels, , as a five footer, the 26in wheels are better suited to a frame that fits... and they are easiler to maneuver. unf all the well known brands ( trek, specialized and cannondale ) make a xs frame but they NOW all put these huge 700C tires on them...interesting when im on the local bike trails in pittsburgh, , most of the cyclist i see are on 80's or 90's hybrids with 26in wheels and upright handle bars!! if you get a chance check out Paul Suchecki's YT video on "my vintage touring bike 1987 Miyata.." esp how he changed the handlebars to help with his ongoing neck/back problems..!! pedal on~~~~

Good job on the 1000 mile month. Im lucky to make 500 miles in a month. What's your poison ivy susceptibility? We have poison oak where I live. That stuff put me in the ER. Urushiol is the agent and is also on mangos. Yeah, I got poison oak from eating a mango.

I like how you use your bikes and your all-road mentality. Your three spoked wheels reminds me of mag wheels. I grew up in the days when us teenagers put mag wheels on our cars to make 'em look cooler.

Your bike build videos support what I'm about to do with a mid 70s Centurion Super Lemans frame. I'm going for an all-road, rando bike. Thanks for that.
