Anatomy of a Gravel Bike
Gravel can take on many forms, and you want to be prepared for whatever comes at you. That said, it’s easier to prepare for terrain you’ll be on 80% of the time, with some concessions that alleviate risk of discomfort on the terrain you’ll encounter 20% of the time.
What is Adventure Cycling?
Our definition of adventure cycling is simple. "We'll ride anything but traffic!"
Know your surface types!
