What exactly is gravel biking?
"Gravel biking is the link between mountain biking and road biking. Gravel biking is very comfortable and also fast - depending on the biker's fitness level. The wider tyres, in contrast to road bikes, are also ideal for riding on surfaces such as gravel and dirt. This means that tours are possible on cycle paths as well as on forest tracks, gravel roads and the like - ideal for a bit of "off-road" riding.
