Just because others are taking it seriously doesn't mean you have to.

Road, climbing, and gravel bikes are designed for different types of terrain and riding styles, so choosing the right type of bike depends on your intended use and personal preferences.

The best type of bike for you depends on your riding goals and the type of terrain you plan to ride on. If you primarily ride on smooth, paved roads, a road bike is a good choice. If you plan to ride steep hills or mountainous terrain, a climbing bike might be more suitable. And if you want to explore off-road routes and trails, a gravel bike is a great option.

What is a climbing bike ?

Mint Sauce had it right.

Who remembers the strip where he got a road bike to train for mtb racing and was depicted riding off, only to fall asleep on the bike sometime later out of sheer boredom?

I loved Mint, and that was my favourite episode!
