it depends on what you mean by back roads. if you mean on roads where there are lots of cars most of the time then the answer is probably no, however if you mean on dirt tracks/ roads that are on farms and around places like that, then it is sometimes acceptable i believe, if there is the freedom act on it called 'the rights to roam'. basically you can ride on dirt tracks, you cannot ride on major or minor roads or bridleways as they are listed roads and would require you to have tax, mot,license plate, passing your test etc, but on tracks that are like i said in, feilds on farms are ok. the best way to find out is to use Google earth and see whether the road comes up on it as a proper road at the same level of zoom as the other roads near it. If the farmer tells you off you can tell them you have 'rights of roam' unless they state they have the road registed then you can drive around and there isn't anything they can do about it. i had this problem before and fortunatley this is how i solved it. hope this helps TIM.

When riding road bikes on dirt trails, it's important to adjust your speed to the terrain, maintain a firm grip on the handlebars, and use wider tires for better traction. Always wear a helmet and protective gear, stay alert for obstacles, and avoid sudden movements. Additionally, make sure your bike is properly maintained and consider taking a skills course to improve your off-road riding abilities.
For riding off road not on the road
Gravel bikes are designed for off-road adventures and have wider tires, more relaxed geometry, and additional clearance for mud and debris. Road bikes are built for speed on smooth pavement with narrower tires and a more aggressive riding position. These differences impact performance by making gravel bikes more stable on rough terrain and road bikes faster on smooth roads. Gravel bikes are better suited for gravel roads, dirt paths, and rough terrain, while road bikes excel on paved roads and in races.
I don't think dirt bikes do, but I'm fairly certain road bikes do.
