mountain bike saddle on road bike?

[Ming the Merciless]

I remember riding my road bike through fields, across streams, down hillsides and through the local woods.
Didn't change any gear. MTBs hadn't been invented. How did we survive?

Well to be fair that was being done back in the 19th century and we will have all heard of the rough stuff fellowship.

I remember putting MTB tyres on my road bike, years before they claim MTB's were invented

Or were they just cyclocross tyres?

It was being done in the 1980's, the club rides I was doing in those days always included some rough stuff, I remember one ride where we did 60-70 miles and about three quarters of it was off road, all done on our road bikes.
