    Road Bike vs. ....

    I'm wondering if traveling with a road bike is entirely necessary or if I can just use this Mountain bike in my Mum's garage to get me as far as I can go... and then, how far do you think that'd be? Thanks <3

    Bike Across the US?

    Has anybody on this site ever biked across the United States? It seems like it would be a great way to see the country. Anybody know of any good routes to take (i.e. the flattest route to travel)?
