As someone who grew up in a small farming town and now lives in the GTA fuck almost everyone with a pickup truck because it’s all for show ain’t no one slinging gravel or wood or a beat up generator somewhere like when I grew up. It’s all faux rural cosplay shit.
My bike has more mud on it than most off road vehicles and tyres are only 700x35c IIRC, may have been 37/38? Hybrid/Trekking bike, Boardman MTX 8.6, the suspension is most useful on the terrible roads we have in places.
It also has more mud on it than half of the bikes I see with tyres that are like 8cm thicc. Usually only see those in urban environments. Often go on gravel or dirt trails and there is the occasional muddy puddle. Nothing really extreme enough to need a mountain bike for.

rural cosplay is very much a thing…
