Townies, Hybrids, etc.

[KnottedYet]

I ride my hybrid for "utility" purposes and for commuting and for rain. (it's aluminum)

I love my hybrid nearly as much as I love my road bike. They are different bikes, and excell at different functions.

Today I rode my hybrid (Kona Dew) to and from work. On the way home I stopped at the grocery store to buy a beer. They let me bring the bike into the store. There is something about a hybrid that just makes folks friendly. It's also easier to commute around here with a hybrid. And if my Kona got stolen or damaged, I wouldn't have as much of a panic attack as I would if it happened to my Waterford. And I don't feel l have to baby my hybrid at all. And I'm willing to lend the hybrid out to folks who need a bike.

It's good to have a zoom-zoom bike and a utility bike.

"do I ever get on my hybrid anymore?" Well, I'd say I get on the hybrid more often, but the mileage is probably a tiny bit higher on my roadie. (8 mile commutes 4 days a week on the hybrid, and 35 mile weekend rides on my roadie)
