    I hate this trend.

    My “gravel bike” is a '90s mountainbike with dirt drop bars.
    My “travel bike” is a '90s mountainbike with rack and fenders.
    And my “cruiser” is a '90s mountainbike with ape hanger handlebars.

      My only bike is a '90s Dutch omafiets. Rack, fenders, frame lock, fixed lighting, chain case, coaster brakes, single speed and riding comfort for days. I’ve replaced nearly every part on this thing myself since I bought it used.

      Not for everyone depending on local terrain, but if you live somewhere flat I couldn’t recommend it more.
