Bad as in not smooth, like far from perfect but also nothing I had ever thought twice about while riding a couple hundred dollar retail store mountain bike. Average Ohio roads, not the worst but definitely weathered. My former housemate had some kind of race bike with a carbon fiber frame, it weighed next to nothing but he was constantly in fear of road debris, couldn't hop curbs, etc. It was a terrible choice for where he was actually riding.
