OK, I give up. How does this bike work?

I have a hybrid type bike I got for commuting. I just wanted something inexpensive that I wouldn't be heartbroken if it got stolen. It is a LOT toughter to ride than my road bike. But if I stick with commuting I'll upgrade.

I guess my point is that you can build up to doing the mileage on these types of bikes. But it will be easier to go farther and faster on a road bike.
