Hi all! I've been reading and lurking for awhile but am moving closer to my actual bike purchase and starting to ride. I test drove some rode bikes today and I felt very unstable, unsure of myself and wobbly. I was riding slow though (in circles in the parking lot), but dang I never realized how thin those tires are and how much balance and control you need!

I am wondering now if a hybrid might be the way to get started? Are they "easier" to ride due to the tires, more upright position, etc. OR maybe just a straight bar road bike?

Or is this just something I need to get used to?

Thanks!
