So my story just sounds like everyone else's. I started on my Jamis Citizen Hybrid that I've had for about 5 or 6 years. But I used to just ride around for fun. When I started riding more seriously, longer distances, trying to get my speed up, I decided it was time to switch to a road bike. It was the best decision ever, I bought a Specialized Dolce Elite. I kept my hybrid, though I don't ride it, but my friends use it when I drag them out on short rides.

I'm riding the NYC Bike Tour in a few weeks and am deciding if I want to ride my road bike on the city streets, but the thought of going back to my hybrid would be awful! I'm still deciding which to ride.

My road bike was one of the best purchases I've ever made!
