I get the idea of poor streets (the mayor cost me a rim last month!) and the preponderance of gravel roads in some locations.
I do wonder, though. Is there a benefit to "gravel" over "touring" bikes, as long as they can both take 35-42 tires?
And how close/how much riding would it take to make adding a gravel bike to your stable worthwhile? It doesn't really make much sense to me to ride roads for an hour for 15 minutes on gravel.
