Gravel bicycles are one of the fastest-growing bicycle categories.
Gravel bikes can be ridden on uneven bike lanes, cobblestone streets, and rugged dirt roads like mountain bikes, with the key difference being their faster and more efficient riding positions.
If you install some narrow smooth tires, you may even find that they can keep up with the pace of road bikes.
In this article, I would like to discuss four reasons why gravel bicycles are about to become better.
Currently, most gravel transmission systems use 1:1 climbing gears.
Assuming the average weight of a cyclist is 80 kilograms/176 pounds, they can continuously output 150 watts of power.
At a slow pace of 60 RPM, our cyclists can comfortably ride on a maximum slope of only 6.6%.
Gravel roads often exceed this slope, so no wonder most people find it difficult to climb mountains!.
The SRAM Apex Eagle transmission system can use 38 tooth front teeth and 52 tooth rear flywheel.
The good news is that the gravel bicycle transmission system can finally provide an appropriately low transmission ratio in 2024.
On bicycles equipped with SRAM Apex Eagle transmission and 38T discs, our average weight of 80 kilograms/176 pounds riders can now comfortably ride on 9.4% slopes – which means a significant increase of 30% in slope.
The latest Shimano GRX 1X transmission system is not far from us anymore.
With the same size rear flywheel and 38 T toothed disc, our riders can climb a slope of 9.2%.
When it comes to 2X transmission system, Microshift provides you with a new Sword kit [5.2-5.3] two-day cycling camp | the Taihu Lake Xishan Island cycling | DIY creative star lights | happy barbecue | outdoor camping | ancient village specimen collection.
Cycling, barbecue, hand drawn starry sky lamps, camping, and collecting specimens from ancient villages.
The cycling course provides each student with a professional cycling set: cycling helmet, cycling gloves, knee pads, elbow pads, to ensure the maximum safety of the students.
Professional cycling coach accompanies the entire process, with a 1:5 super high teacher-student ratio.
Mountain biking is a sport that promotes children’s growth.
Muscle and bone development, improving heart and lung function, training children’s balance ability, and improving their physical coordination.
In long-distance cycling activities with multiple people, each person is a part of the entire team, and everyone needs to work together to ensure the smooth completion of the entire journey.
Cycling requires people to put in a lot of time and effort, especially when cycling to distant places or challenging routes at once, which requires enough courage.
The scorching barbecue scene is filled with fireworks and marks of freedom!.
Suzhou Zhili Ancient Village is an ancient water town village and one of the well preserved traditional Jiangnan water towns in the Suzhou area.
Children actively seek, observe, and record various types of plants.
This process encourages children to actively explore nature, cultivates their curiosity about the unknown, and fosters a spirit of daring to try.
Carefully observe and identify the characteristics of plants, and record them.
Collaborate with other partners, share observations and discoveries, learn from each other and help each other.
This helps to cultivate their teamwork spirit and mutual support ability.

Just over the past weekend, a group of cyclists who love cycling came to Wukong Cycling Park located in the Deqing Fantasy Valley Scenic Area to participate in the 2024 Fantasy Valley Spring Cycling Carnival.
Spring is indeed the season for all things to grow. Not only are the plants in the Fantasy Valley Park full of vitality, but our car drivers are also full of vitality on the track.
In the Spring Fantasy Valley Scenic Area, the pump path is located among the mountains and surrounded by a garden.
Riding in the mountains and forests while breathing in the fresh air of nature.
The biggest feature of the Fantasy Valley Bicycle Park is that it has both a pump path at the foot of the mountain and a downhill forest path on the mountain, which provides children with pump paths with an advanced venue.
We see more and more children practicing techniques on pump tracks and then proficiently applying them to downhill cycling.
The drivers train and improve time and time again, and they can see obvious results in the monthly standings and quarterly major competitions in Fantasy Valley.
Half a year ago, the best time on the Fantasy Valley Forest Road was set by a 15-year-old driver in 1 minute and 10 seconds, and this time the U12 group’s car drivers can also run in 1 minute and 11 seconds.
This time, we also thoughtfully set up a self-service car wash point at the end of the forest road, and the mud kids were so happy washing their cars themselves!.
It is worth mentioning that the champion of the U12 Lin Dao group, Lu Yicheng, surprisingly dropped a shoe during the competition.
Such an accident couldn’t stop him from winning the championship, which shows his strength! Xu Yuzhi, who finished second, was only 0.66 seconds behind in the final and won second place. The competition was quite intense.
The overall performance of the Lin Dao U12 group is very good, with 6 drivers all running in 1 minute and 20 seconds.
This is closely related to the basic skills they have accumulated in the Fantasy Valley pump channel and the advanced training of Lin Dao.
I believe that more and more car riders who come to Fantasy Valley can not only enjoy the joy of cycling, but also improve their cycling skills.
There are several cyclists who are new to the Fantasy Valley Forest Road in this forest road race. They usually train in Hangzhou and can complete the race very smoothly on their first visit to the Fantasy Valley Forest Road. It is evident that our forest road can be ridden very well. Whether you are a beginner in the forest road or a downhill expert, you can enjoy advanced fun here!.
This driver is coming to Fantasy Valley Forest Road for the first time. They arrived at the race track just after the qualifying race was almost over and completed the race smoothly. Their mentality was very good!.
This is the famous internet celebrity Fantasy Valley Big V Pump Road, known for its versatility and longevity. [Lin Sheng Party Building | “Yue Qi Yue Youth” May Fourth Qingshan Lake Cycling Event].

Require positivity and positivity, edit the “Party branch” and “name” to send to WeChat Bike Knowledge | How to choose suitable sized bicycles for children.
Bicycles are a healthy, environmentally friendly, and fun means of transportation, and also a favorite toy for many children.
However, when choosing bicycles for children, there is a very important issue, which is how to choose the appropriate size.
If the bicycle is too big or too small, it not only affects the comfort and safety of riding, but may also have adverse effects on the physical development of children.
So, how do you choose a suitable size bicycle for children? This article will provide you with some simple methods and suggestions.
The size of a bicycle is usually represented by the wheel diameter, which is the diameter of the tires.
Different wheel diameters correspond to different types of bicycles and suitable populations.
Generally speaking, there are several common specifications for the diameter of bicycles:.
12 inches (approximately 30 centimeters): suitable for children aged 2-4 or children between 85-105 centimeters in height.
14 inches (approximately 35 centimeters): suitable for children aged 3-5 or those between 95-115 centimeters in height.
16 inches (approximately 40 centimeters): suitable for children aged 4-6 or those between 105-125 centimeters in height.
18 inches (approximately 45 centimeters): suitable for children aged 5-8 or children between 115-135 centimeters in height.
20 inches (approximately 50 centimeters): suitable for children aged 6-10, or children between 125-145 centimeters in height.
24 inches (approximately 60 centimeters): suitable for children aged 8-12, or children between 135-155 centimeters in height.
26 inches (approximately 65 centimeters): suitable for children aged 10 and above, or children over 145 centimeters in height.
It should be noted that these wheel diameters are only for reference, and there may be slight differences between different bicycle brands and models.
In addition, in addition to the wheel diameter, there are also some other dimensional parameters, such as frame height, seat height, handlebar width, etc., which can also affect the applicability and comfort of bicycles.

This is me wearing the Jefferson “Back to the Future” collection myself.
After the weather started to warm up this year, we spent another two months testing and experiencing it. We ourselves and our children also went outdoors to actually ride, and we chose the ones we thought were the most suitable to have a group trip.
I was initially conflicted because one of the new cars we are quite satisfied with (KING PLUS) will not be available for mass production until the end of May.
I originally wanted to wait, but recently many readers have been asking when to start cycling groups, hoping to start as soon as possible.
Indeed, the current climate, including the upcoming May Day holiday, is very suitable for cycling, so we have decided to start a group trip first. If you want to buy the KING PLUS model, you can wait for pre-sale. The other models are in stock, and you can directly purchase them.
The most important criterion for choosing a bicycle this year is still the weight of the bicycle itself.
Heavy bicycles are not only troublesome for parents to carry up and down stairs, but also require a lot of effort for children to ride.
In the comparison of children’s bicycles, the importance of weight difference is much higher than that of adult bicycles.
Because children’s weight is a fraction of that of adults, the difference in vehicle weight that children feel while cycling is several times that of adults.
The weight of the carbon steel frame tested last year was about 40% heavier than that of the aluminum alloy car, which was difficult for children to ride and had a significant difference in feeling.
The most core factor affecting the weight of bicycles is the material. Currently, the mainstream body materials used in children’s bicycles on the market are two: carbon steel and aluminum alloy.
Bicycles made of all aluminum alloy materials are much lighter in weight than some aluminum alloys or carbon steel, and can provide good stiffness and strength, making the user experience indeed better.
Last year, in order to make ourselves and our users more at ease, we conducted a destructive evaluation of Uber and mainstream children’s bicycles in the market.
I purchased 8 best-selling styles of bicycles from popular domestic and foreign brands from the e-commerce platform. In addition to Uber, I also purchased well-known domestic and foreign brands and bicycles with high sales on a certain platform. Then, I completely disassembled and compared them with the new ones on the route | 3-day vacation around Hangzhou!
