What do you use your bike for and what features do you look for to meet that purpose? (sh.itjust.works)

I mostly ride road for Recreation and fitness, so I have a CAAD12 for that purpose.

Right now I'm on a road trip, and I'm seriously wishing I had a gravel bike. My area is all paved roads, but some areas we've visited have a plethora of gravel roads. My narrow tires are not liking that.

We're at an event at a fair grounds, and I'm seriously wishing I had my hybrid with me for getting around. I'm pretty sure it's over a mile to the buildings. Next time I'm going to look into renting e-bikes for my wife and I for getting around. This would be the only time we'd use them, once a year at most, so renting makes a lot of sense, if that is something that is even offered.

I have a hardtail mtb for occasionally going on trails, but I rarely ride it.
