Gravel Bikes Explained: Do You Really Need One for Your Rides?
Update: 2025-10-14
Description
I recently went on a ride with a friend who brought his gravel bike. I showed up with my mountain bike—and honestly, I had a blast.
It got me thinking: do we really need a gravel bike, or is it just another shiny object in the cycling world? In this episode, I unpack that question. We’ll explore the differences between gravel and mountain bikes, what the marketing gets right (and wrong), and how to make gear decisions that align with your goals—not just the trends.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your current setup is enough, or felt the pull of the next big upgrade, this one’s for you.
