Gravel safety: everything a beginner needs to know
Gravel is one of the safest ways to start cycling because gravel roads have very little traffic. The real risks are falls on loose surfaces, mechanicals far from help, weather, and legal ambiguity on shared roads. Every one of them is managed with skills, systems, and community — which is exactly what a coached program provides. More Than Miles™ leadership is First Aid, CPR, and AED certified.

How do you fix a flat tire on a gravel bike?
For a tubeless setup: shake the wheel to spread sealant, spin the tire until it seals, and top up with CO2 or a pump. If sealant won't close the hole, plug it with a bacon strip. If the tire is completely off the rim or the sidewall is torn, install a tube. Carry a plug kit, a spare tube, tire levers, and a CO2 or mini pump on every ride.
