Riding 1000 km, which is better, mountain bike or road bike?

I rode it twice, once from Fuzhou to Xi 'an and once from Fuzhou to Beijing. In fact, long-distance cycling is not as difficult as everyone thinks. You should walk more in good times and less in bad times. The car is the same, expressway may be easy to walk (I have never used it), and the mountain road may be a little tired (I have ridden Hunter 2.0 and Challenger 350 twice). But the most important thing is to insist that the road is completed by time, not speed. Pay attention to safety and learn to mend tires. 1000 km is not much. Arrange the itinerary, come on! (Mountain bike suggests changing a semi-bald tire to relax. )

Believe me, an old cyclist's answer is that it must be a mountain bike. Although it is relatively heavier than a road bike, I tell you that the riding posture of a mountain bike is much more comfortable than a road bike, especially when riding for a long time. The riding posture of the road bike will drive you crazy. In addition, the tires of mountain bikes are very suitable for long-distance driving, and are far superior to road bikes in terms of seismic comfort. Running long distances outside is no lighter than anyone's car. My longest day is 228 kilometers, and the road conditions are still quite complicated. Climbing the mountain road evenly, I practice endurance and physical strength.

It must be much easier to ride a road bike. I have mountain bikes, city wagons, road bikes and folding bicycles, which are the most suitable. My road bike is long-distance to adapt to the road, pebbles, gravel. It's no problem to ride a highway car with bent hips instead of waist for 6-8 days.

2012/12//day, a buddy and I started from Yongqing, Langfang City, Hebei Province. After nine and a half days of cycling, we stopped and walked all the way to our destination-Shanghai!

We are all mountain bikes. Dude is a Merida Gong 6; I'm Giant XTC770, and I didn't have a flat tire or adjustment during the whole ride.

I put my backpack in the car and brought a lot of things. Replace clothes, spare parts and tools for wearing parts of bicycles, medicines, raincoats and cameras. ...

But it turns out that some things are useless at all, but become a burden!

Personal suggestion: If your trip is a mature route that is not very remote and the road conditions allow, you can ride a comprehensive expressway. That is to say, road vehicles suitable for breaking the wind and climbing hills are all lightly loaded. Generally speaking, there will be supply shops (supermarkets, gas stations, convenience stores and bicycle shops) along this route, so you don't need to bring a lot of things. It is enough to carry a backpack, a spare tire and tire repair tools, a mobile power supply, documents and a change of cycling clothes!

However, if there are many mountain roads and rotten roads, it is suggested that mountain bikes are more practical. After all, adaptability and passability are better than highways. You can also choose a station wagon with butterfly handles!

In short, it depends on your itinerary and your physical fitness!

It's just a personal suggestion, please make a reference and hope to help you!

The station wagon is the first choice, designed for long-distance riding, and can't be wrong. The second option is to modify the mountain bike (put the back shelf with a backpack, replace the swallow handle with a butterfly handle, replace the tires with 1.5 or 1.75 bald tires, and so on). ), and you don't want to go straight without pretending. In fact, road cars are also the second choice. If you feel uncomfortable there, change the word, the seat is not strong, change the big butt seat of the battery car, the handlebar is uncomfortable, and change the high and low handle you like or the steering wheel.

Choose a station wagon. The mountain is very tired, and the road is not suitable for traveling. Only traveling is for traveling. Comfort is the purpose, and comfort is happiness.

Cycling 1000 km mountain bike is recommended. One of my long-distance trips was riding a mountain bike (from Shanxian to Luoyang via Songshan). Return from Luoyang via Zhengzhou).

1000 kilometers away, it is inevitable that there will be complicated sections. Mountain bikes are suitable for any road section. Although road bikes are lighter than mountain bikes, they are limited by road conditions. Moreover, the load of mountain bikes is stronger than that of road bikes when traveling far.

For reference only, have a nice trip.

Speaking of relaxation, it's still a road bike, but you need to bring some supplies for long-distance travel, and riding a mountain bike is more convenient.

You can ride whatever you want. I always ride this.

First of all, look where you are going and how the road conditions are. If the road conditions are good, it will be easier to ride on the road! Mountains are more solid and durable, and each has its own advantages!
