I have a hybrid and a road bike too. The longest ride I ever did on the hybrid was about 50 miles...it was fun then, but on the road bike, those miles just fly by. I didn't feel a bit guilty keeping it when I got my road bike because the hybrid is perfect for loading up and running errands around town, something my road bike would not be well suited for. DH didn't even give me any grief about it. Can't imagine my little road bike locked up at the rack at the supermarket...I'd probably want to bring it in the store with me instead!
