Why can't we admit there's nowhere to ride any kind of bike in this cursed country.
There's no gravel to ride a gravel bike, as proven.
Road bikes are designed for the traffic free tarmac of the pro peloton so that's out.
No mountains in England, so mountain bikes are moot. Potentially some in Wales and Scotland but obviously nothing anyone continental would recognise as such.
Even cargo and utility bikes are pretty redundant given the lack of well considered bike infrastructure.
There's a few velodromes if you have a track bike I suppose, but you would have to drive your bike there, unless you were willing to ride a track bike on the road. But who would do that.
