Emily, my BF and I are looking at some houses on dirt roads - but we're thinking that we need to rule them out because we can't ride our bikes. I never really thought about it, but is it insane to rule out ideal houses because we want to ride out from our front door? Does anyone else have any ideas on dirt roads and long driveways?

(I actually thought about building a little shed at the end of the road. We ride out on our MTB's to the shed, where we switch to our road bikes, ride on the roads, come back, put the road bikes in the shed and ride the MTB's home. Great, but the thought of leaving my precious baby road bike out all alone in a shed ruled out that idea!)
