I can’t quite get my head around cross bikes. I bought one last year and have hardly used it at all, I’m not interested in racing but I thought I’d use it in the winter when the trails are a mess, however in practice I use my single speed as there is less maintenance/cleaning. So then I thought I’d use it on the fast, dry trails in summer, but I take my full suspension bike because it somehow seems more fun having not ridden it much in the winter. So then I thought I’d use it to commute, but the road bike is faster in the dry, the old hack mountain bike is better in the wet (big tough tyres, full mudguards) and the cx bike is a real pain to bodge a rear guard on to.
Hmmmm, is it really possible to have one bike to many? Maybe I should just flog it….
