I spoke to a lad at my favourite Edmonton bike shop (High Country) a year or
so ago....he said his mountain bike is five minutes slower to work (10-15 km
or so I think).  His boss and owner of same shop keeps telling me how much I
need one (I agree but my wallet doesn't) - he has taken his up stairs with up
to three steps....I guess we need a four -oops two - wheel drive model for
longer stairs.

They appear to be good in traffic and would be great in this mountainous
gravel pile.
