The difference between road and MTB flared up for me during the 2020 pandemic. At that time I was doing both as each sport has its individual personalities. In the first few weeks of the pandemic all roads were open roads as everyone was at home locked down. I even rode down US 30 a few times, only meeting an occasional truck allegedly hauling necessities. But I found that I was drawn more toward MTB trails. So I asked myself why.
I believe that all the tightening constrictions of the pandemic forced me to seek more open options of freedom. An MTB can go anywhere, but my roadbikes were restricted to pavement. My daily bike journeys on trails kept my spirit of total freedom alive and carried me through those desperate times of COVID clampdowns.
Definitely depends on the day and mood. Both is Biking.
Screw you robots!!
