Some friends and I are planning to ride the Tour De Port in Baltimore on the 4th of October. One of the women that I ride with noted on the website that they say that hybrids or mountain bikes are ideal for this ride.
See Baltimore from an intimate angle and enjoy Charm City's historic neighborhoods and landmarks. Mountain or hybrid bicycles (including tandems and recumbents) are ideal for this event because their wider tires are better suited for the city roads, streetcar tracks, and cobblestone streets that are part of what makes Tour du Port unique. Thousands of riders have successfully participated using road bikes.
What is your take on this and will we be ok riding our road bikes?
