I believe you underestimate the importance of my believing this, lest I find myself needing to buy yet another bike.
I'm already far too intrigued with the idea.
From where i live in San Mateo, a lot of where I'd want to ride on gravel is already a good road ride away. I think it would be a blast to spend some time exploring the dirt roads and trails on the west side of the Peninsula, and maybe I'll get to that eventually, but for now, I still really love pavement. That, and I don't have anywhere to park another bike in the garage!
