ROFL - I'm sry Dottie - I read this as "purchase my first bike a hybrid, husband also." I thought you meant you purchased a husband! Geez - the way we read things sometimes! I was all excited - wanted to know where I could buy a hybrid And a husband, wondered what type of LBS your store must be. Just in general having fun! Anyway, my "get back into cycling" bike is a commuter bike but I"m saving for a road bike. I will stay with the commuter - like you - for commuting and as a trainer! I want the road bike for the lightness and the speed. I did a 34 mile ride Wed on the commuter bike and enjoyed every minute of it. My avg spd including climbing back up the mountain was about 13 mph and when I got home my first thought was - gee...wonder what it would've been on a road bike! Anyway, at least we ride and Thats what counts more than What we ride no??!
