Is a gravel bike something specific or just like, a regular bike?

[–] aarch64@programming.dev 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's something in between a road bike and a mountain bike.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Okay yeah, so exactly what it sounds like. Wasn't sure if it was a brand maybe or something.

Used to call those "touring bikes", no?

[–] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 days ago

No, a touring bike has a luggage rack. Gravel bikes typically are naked.

No, we used to call them Cyclocross.
