Unfortunately, the cost-of-living crisis is affecting everybody of all incomes and ages, with more changes to bills taking place at every new turn. Many people will be looking to cut costs wherever they can, and as gravel, mtb and road bike parts specialists, we can make the argument that avid cyclists might want to consider bracing the roads on their daily commute, rather than bus stops.

If you already keep fit on a mountain bike and love the thrill of setting off on two wheels, what’s stopping you from investing in a road bike? Many people are afraid of the historically hostile attitude motorists have had towards cyclists, but with more cyclists taking to the roads, a change in the highway code hierarchy of users, and our eco-conscious society, the cost-of-living crisis should be the final tipping point towards convincing you to switch up your commute.

Another persuasive argument for commuting by bike is that you already have a reliable supplier of CNC machined, UK-manufactured and consistently high quality mtb components at your disposal, so you already know where to source your road bike parts from. It is often reported that women are more cautious on the roads than men – in part due to having to live with higher levels caution in the public sphere, however the numbers of women commuting by bike have risen in recent years too.

Now the cost-of-living crisis is sadly in full-swing, perhaps it might be time for the avid mtb cyclist to invest in taking a road bike to work to cut costs and guarantee an easy way of cycling more.
