I've done 100 mile MTB races, and while it's not as efficient as riding a flat smooth road on a road bike, it's probably still more efficient than walking.
Obviously at some point there's a line, where you can't ride a bike, but for most roads and trails, the bike is going to win.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoI think that the comment I was responding to was about scenarios where are no human-created pathways, trails or roads. As I mentioned in some of these, modern fat (tire) bikes are still great; in others, it is true that walking would be the best choice (unless you're at the level of, say, Danny MacAskill).
- davidw 4y agoSure, fair I guess, but where there are people, there tend to at least be paths. I wonder how many calories MacAskill burns. He makes it seem pretty effortless.
