Two tangential thoughts:
- Try a gravel bike, which gives you a very road bike like feel, but isn't restricted to paved roads. I use mine to do 95% of the off-road stuff I used to do with my MTB, plus a lot of road.
- I've used my road bike on a smart trainer with Rouvy, Zwift and Wahoo SYSTM lately, and it's by far better than the typical gym bike. I switch between these apps, as they all have their individual strengths and weaknesses. That said, if you already own a road bike, a smart trainer might be better for giving stationary cycling a try. Smaller investment, smaller footprint when not in use.
- pard68 4y agoI have been looking at gravel bikes. They seem like a good compromise. I live on an asphalt road, but there is a hundred or more miles of dirt forestry roads within a mile or two. Might be that a gravel bike can get me to and through the forestry roads.
