I love my drop-bar Pug as a no-holds-barred adventure bike. I can do things with this bike that would stop any typical bike. Last week, I rode from home to check on the conditions of 15 miles of river bottoms trails, including large parts that have been under water all summer (wet summer in Minnesota). This 60-mile ride included nearly every road/trail surface and only left me walking when I found some wet patches of clay/mud/silt.
