Considering updating to a modern, faster bike than my mountain bike to get out exercising more. Not really sure what routes I would be trying out as a resident of Blaine if I got new bike other than going around Bunker Hill park to start. Just curious if anyone has experience with how much they find themselves using one vs the other?

Are you finding a lot more unique routes accessible because you have a gravel bike?

With time did you find riding into downtown Minneapolis or the midtown greenway pretty doable on a gravel bike?

Do you find the roads/paths in good enough shape that the extra cushion from a gravel bike is not a near necessity?
