I pretty much use my mountain bike when we go away in the van and only on occasion to I take my road bike however more and more i've been doing some mixed rides with the children as well as road and forest routes back home. After looking at the price of e-bikes and the size of my belly I decided that a "new" human powered device was needed but something that I could use almost any where, most terrains, tow the dogs in their Croozer with and some how not be a mountain bike nor a road bike
So after a bit of research I decided that a CX bike was for me and after a few weeks searching I picked up a 2nd hand (used once for 1hr) custom built CX from Germany.
Wow what a lot of fun it is. Love the road stuff on it and only marginally slower than my Scott road bike and it just east up anything off road, really amazing how capable it is. Only a few offs so far although having my Look road pedals on and road shoes doesn't help, desperately need some SPD's. But I'm looking forwards to winter for once and all those wet roads, and the mud will be just a lot of fun.....
