After basically not riding for 6 years, I decided it was time to get a new bike. So instead of taking the bus home over the weekend, I went by bike. 100km each way, 20% gravel, 80% road.

About 60km of those 100km look like image 3. In total, over those 120km, I saw 16 cars. I counted because I had never taken that route by car before and wanted to know how busy it was.
Magical.
I still have some adjustments to make to the fit though. I stopped many times and made it better, but it’s still far from optimal.
Bike is an Allebike MB31 Bramley. Smaller local manufacturer here in Sweden.

Nice ! I’m in my second season on the gravel bike after a 5yr hiatus after having to reconcile DH Mountain biking was probably not the best idea at 54 yrs old and two broken clavicles haha.
Enjoy, these gravel bikes are a more civilized way to get a mild adrenaline rush, and keep both wheels on the ground : )
