Here I was under the impression that I was riding some kind of hybrid bike -- today I was informed that I have a comfort bike - it's a Specialized Crossroads.

Two salespeople told me today that a comfort bike is designed to be comfortable for a few miles.

I've been putting 60-100 miles a week on this puppy (20 mile rides 3 times a week and a 40 mile ride once a week). They were not surprised that I wasn't comfortable on it! I also keep a pace of 10-15 mph on it, which I thought was slow (cuz all the road bikes blow by me, of course), but the one salesman just about dropped when I told him that.

I feel so much more accomplished now! I still can't wait to get a road bike though! I guess I'll get my rides done in much faster times - LOL!

How pathetic are ya when you don't even know what KIND of bike you are riding??? ROFL!
