Yeah, I've heard these were popular in the late 20th century.
@avidamoeba I thought "mountain" stands at least for a sloped hill, maybe some bumpy path. In this video I see only tarmac roads flat as an artificial lake.

They're talking about the MTB getting into cities, so yeah. 😀
@avidamoeba well, that did pass, didn't it?
For a while. But the modern gravel bikes that are super popular around here are essentially 90s MTBs with 700c wheels and drop bars. So it's kinda back. 😂
@avidamoeba @mapto Those are back because they are really sensible bikes for riding the places and ways most people cycle.
Agreed. I'm riding a similar bike myself, except it's steel and has riser bars.
@avidamoeba My gravel bike is steel. Steel is a good material to make bikes from. That is bikes intended to be used and repaired.
