Who says gravel bikes are only for dirt roads and backcountry trails? I take my gravel bike into the heart of Melbourne to see how it handles the twists, turns, and occasional chaos of Tour de Roadworks!
Navigating Melbourne’s streets can feel like a battle zone, with loose debris, potholes, and unexpected detours at every turn. But thanks to my trusty gravel bike, punctures weren’t on the menu, and handling the mess was a breeze. Its wide tyres, durability, and versatility make it perfect for dodging urban obstacles while still keeping the ride smooth and fast.
You'll see why gravel bikes are the ultimate do-it-all machines, especially for city riders who want a bike that can handle rough roads, smooth tarmac, and everything in between. This isn’t your typical gravel adventure - it’s a testament to how these bikes thrive in any environment.
Whether you’re a city commuter, a gravel enthusiast, or just curious about tackling Melbourne’s urban jungle on two wheels, this video has something for you.
