Is riding a mountain bike on the street a better workout than a road bike?
Question by George Salusbury: Is riding a mountain bike on the street a better workout than a road bike?
A road bike is more fun and fast on the street, but you do get a better workout with a mountain bike.
Agree?
A road bike can feel like a leisure stroll while on a mountain, you use more muscle.

Answer by c2002jserio

You’re also safer in the city because the narrower tiers can get stuck in or dip into those drain grills and give you a bad fall.

How much of a disadvantage is it to get mountain biking shoes instead of road biking shoes for a road bike?
Question by noPain: How much of a disadvantage is it to get mountain biking shoes instead of road biking shoes for a road bike?
It seems like there’s a lot of disparity from one brand’s shoe to the next, whether the shoes are made for road biking or mountain biking. Some mountain biking shoes seem more comfortable for everyday use or for walking. What’s the downside in getting mountain biking shoes for a road bike?

Answer by jeff b
Probably not that much unless you are racing. In which case, you may not have the same “grip” and lose some efficiency.
