I really dislike this trend towards having a different bike for every use someone can invent.
Actually, I probably used to ride cx on a gas pipe 10 speed....It was called being a kid.

this is the thing. the only thing. the push towards having "different bikes for different things" is 100% an industry tactic to sell stuff. I ride my road bike on the grass sometimes too - and I have 28mm tires even on my race bike. I now know that I'll be crucified . . . if you can catch me
