I’d be riding the edge’s that are less bumpy but I’d ride this stuff all day.

Looks like it’s made of gravel. I wonder what could one do with such a thing?

This road is gold for dentists

That would be fine for my road bike with 25mm tires.
That said it doesn’t t seem like it’s condition would be as much of a car deterrent as I like.
If you don’t want to pay attention you could do it in a fat bike. That way you won’t notice when you’re over gravel vs tarmac.

i know this can be well ridden in any bike but if all my routes consisted about this stuff id seriously get a suspension seatpoat or double susp (light with short travel) paired with thin tires

You either accept the washboard or risk the sandy edges, of course you can search for a clean line but that’s a lot of work

Washboard is the worst. I never go back to roads like this.

gucci gravel. just relax your arms and find a smooth line.

After rain, they suck your tires in like Gollum sucks on a still wriggling half-live fish.
Dry and well maintained, they roll as well as pavement.
Where I live, they tend to lead you to idyllic countryside landscapes.

Only possible with a full suspension 29er mountain bike. Any less than that, you’re a damn legend. /s

This is so annoying. My commute would be like 60 minutes of this and then 60 minutes of road without any cycling infrastructure so I chose to get to work by car 🙁

Looks like it’s made for front suspension forks. Otherwise an all your fillings will fall out.

It’s gravel it’s supposed to be bumpy and rough. I thought that’s why we were out there.

Roads like this are the type of roads, where I started riding seriously (meaning, more than just 20 kilometres around the village).
For sure not something, where you want to pursuit KOMs and fast average speed, but if you don’t, it can be ridden.

I love roads like this, picking my compromise line between bumps and a straight line. Fun

Full suspension rig for sure!
