“As an aging mountain biker I discovered gravel riding is easier on my body, plus, it opens up a whole new world of riding.”
Colorado is a playground for cyclists, with paved roads and paths, bumpy mountain trails and dirt farm, ranch and forest routes to explore. According to the nonprofit Bicycle Colorado, 73% of Coloradans own at least one bike and a whopping 41% of residents call themselves recreational cyclists. That’s a lot of pedaling going on in the Centennial State.
Busch’s employer has committed to the trend as well, adding gravel tours to its 2023 European offerings. “We almost died!” Barcklow said, with a laugh. “There was no water anywhere and it took twice as long as we thought.” Do you need a gravel bike for your first ride? Not necessarily, said Busch, though she recommends borrowing or renting a gravel bike to help ensure a successful adventure. For an easy conversion, consider swapping out the wheels and tires of your road or mountain bike. The idea is to see if gravel riding is something you enjoy.
“I feel like a hybrid bike is more for gentle, crushed surfaces, paved path riding or commuting,” said Whitney Alison of Bike Sports in Fort Collins. “They can do everything OK,” Alison said. “It’s not the fastest bike on the road and it’s not the fastest bike on singletrack, but it can do all of those.”
