[quote=Anonymous]Unless your route includes gravel or other unpaved section, a cyclocross bike adds nothing over a road bike. Now if you want to take the same bike all gravelly on the weekends, that's a different story. A mountain bike though, with slicks on it and a front shock, that does have some advantages over the potholes and curbs you may encounter in the city. Perhaps though with the continued efforts to create proper in the street bike commuting routes, there will be less and less need to deal with curbs and sidewalks on in town sections. But for now, commuting down Mass. Ave., for one example, works best if you do the Wisc. to Dupont Circle section mostly on the sidewalk - well, unless you ride 30+ mph on the long downhill in the road and fit with traffic there.[/quote]
