 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
While we sit around arguing which bike is best for a purpose or what wax is best for our moustaches, it's worth bearing in mind that you can take just about any bike anywhere, it's just harder.
In fact if you look at where folk were taking their bikes 120 years ago, all their bikes were wrong. 🙂
The wrong bike in the wrong place is my major vice, and I'm sure I'm not alone in a weakness for following any interesting track regardless what bike I'm on.
So how about we post up our wrong bike in the wrong place pics.
I'll start off with these:
Dahon Hammerhead (singlespeed) on Great Glen Way. (It's also been round the 'Puffer a few times 🙂 )

1930s rod brake roadster around the 'Puffer track (only recommended if you have strong control of your fundamental sphincter 🙂 )

Ditto, bush whacking in rainforest going up 1,500 feet.

A Dahon folding bike reaching very high (or why I really need a gravel bike 🙂 )

So let's see your pics...
Love that last one. It's got a Saga holidays feel about it!
Are you trying to prove a point or just attention whoring?

Yay to that - I've taken my carbon monocoque TT bike off roading (and done a TT on my susser). Sadly no pictures, so is a cycle OK rather than a bike? Because this is the wrong "bike" almost everywhere...

The thread will quickly die if it isn't interesting to some people.
