@_r@donotsta.re With bikes, it can vary a lot, based on design. A racing bike is bad offroad, but a hybrid will do just fine on most offroad surfaces you could walk on comfortably. And mountain bikes, of course, can handle just about anything.

@wesdym@mastodon.social ah but only if the human on top of the bike has proper experience. almost anyone can walk. not much fewer can ride a bicycle on level streets. but give me a mountain bike to climb a foresty mountain and I’d definitely end up hurting myself. not to mention that legs will still be more efficient. after all, it’s a lot easier to run up a hill than to cycle up a hill, even at the same speed (assuming you don’t have enough momentum to clear the entire thing)
