How about a pavement pounder?
Is that a new type of road bike? Pray tell! |
Yeah, because paved road bikes are so underrepresented around here...***
|
I don't like it when my bike makes pounding noises.
|
Pavement gliding is better than pounding. You go faster much easier.
|
I for one got all the gravel grinding I wanted for life when I lived on the farm, and had to ride gravel roads to school.

Road runners are pavement pounders.
Road bicycles are pavement rollers.

I already assumed a gravel grinder was simultaneously a "pavement pounder" (i.e. a rough-use road bike).
There can only be so much compartmentalization, before it starts to get ridiculous.

I can think of two advantages of one long ride vs split miles…
Secondly, I think that if training for a long ride, one has to toughen up down there where you sit, and I think that requires extended, continuous time in the saddle; I calI it…ahem...uh...“pounding the perineum (or pudendum).” :o |
pogo pud pounding pavement proselytizing?

Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Possibly Perpetually. |

Maybe you all have great pavement, but here in California, with the state of the roads and the giant potholes, and road debris - you need a gravel grinder for the subpar pavement. Gravel would be smoother. :roflmao2:

Where I used to live, I could ride a 25 mile loop almost exclusively on the road and designated bike paths.
Since moving, my rides consists of sidewalk, street, and through the park on grass. So I did this: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...20dac48917.jpg Streets here I believe were voted worst in the US; you can't really call them paved anymore. I do ride my road bikes but carefully choose my routes or I drive someplace else and ride on paths. I'll probably ride them more once I change over to 28mm tires. I think a pavement pounder is more of an urban do it all bicycle. We don't have many gravel roads here although many of our roads do have gravel on them! |
Real gravel riders would never use the term gravel grinding.

Looks like the term gravel grinder got let loose not too long ago.

Cannondale SuperX with Sram Rival CX1. I replaced the 44cm bars with 42cm, the saddle with my spare road saddle and 32mm tubeless road tires.
