How To Ride The Industrial Gravel

Country gravel roads that stretch on for miles and miles are great - but sometimes you want to ride out of the door and into the cut(s). That is what rides like these on the gravel bikes are all about - stringing together the industrial gravel. Old tracks, old factories, abandoned roads etc. Top up your sealant and join us on a chunky, glassy, and dirty ride through some rust belt history.

As much as I like Ultraromance's bucolic rural adventures, Tim's North American urban grunge is closer to the sort of riding that is accessible to me at the moment, and that is what makes it more inspiring. Make the best out of what you have!

Reminds me of my childhood in the 70’s. My friend’s and I would spend our summer days riding our Schwinn bikes for hours. We’d explore every nook and cranny of our neighborhood and know all the “secret” spots that only we knew how to get too. Fun.

The Gunner with the sweep back bars AND wide tires !!! Thats my jam 🎸!! 🍻

[daniellarson]

Thank You Tim - As the days get longer and warmer, it's good to see that even riding in the rust belt can be fun.

Reminds me of fearless times and fearless kids exploring their town with their bikes.

[StebrasNotHorses]

Lol, this is great. The adult version of what we all did as kids.

This ride scratches me right where I itch. I want to pack up my rig, go north, find this route, ride it, and maybe do some hobo drinking along the way.
Thanks Tim, 100% awesome!

Your videos make me miss northeastern Ohio! This reminds me so much of being a kid in Cleveland in the late 70s/ early 80s!

[bruceboysen]

I love that type of riding. I can’t do it here unless I went up to Hartford to ride.

[leebarrett]

Wooo, proper industrial gravel this week, love it.

[carlp]

Yeah man! Just did my share of Cleveland RR GRVL this past weekend. Those choky stones are a killer but so much fun!

[biosfearmag]

Reminds me of some of my rides through the more industrial part of North Portland. Looked like fun.

Badass video. Loved every minute. Wish I was riding with you. Keep'em coming Tim.👏👏

[Cannabisandcoffee]

Tim your photography skills really shine on this one! The lighting so perfect in those sunset scenes!

[gabrielcontreras]

Cool video, but I’m glad I live in SoCal. Ocean and mountains in same riding!

[petercroce]

Akron looks like such a rip! That route looks big fun and super silly. Love it.

[garyseckel]

Your upright bars with aft-curved grips seemed perfect for your riding!

[Mr-lmdv]

Riding fine Rene Herse tires on urban sketch.... This is so my jam! 😅

[johnsampson]

Awesome video. This is the riding that my brothers, friends, and I did growing up. Except with single-gear, 20-in bmx bikes. Keep on ridin'!

[DAMN]

Yes! Just what I needed. Never disappoints. Loved those grassy in town downhills.
