I fell in love with biking again when I got my first cross bike. What I really fell in love with was underbiking though from a MTB background. More fun to rip all the gravel trails around here on a 20lb cross/gravel bike on edge of control. Vancouverite. 100km of trails between Stanley Park, Jericho, UBC and Musqueam and you do rides all year and never go the exact same way twice. Stanley Park was awesome for underbiking on some of the older wide gravel roads until about 2020 when parksboard/maintenance went absolutely nuts regravelling roads into perfectly smooth roads unfortunately.
Nothing like biking from your backdoor too after a lifetime of always getting in the car to go and bike on the shore.
