do most of you ride road bikes?

Hybrid for gravel trails and sandy/salty winter streets, but mostly use my road bike. I prefer the road bike position so I'm thinking of trying to find a used cyclocross to replace the hybrid. I started back on the hybrid and loved it; now, I find it uncomfortable. But that's me.

You have to read yourself. Is the hybrid more comfortable for you? Some people are self-conscious on a road bike, but more comfortable when they start riding on the slower hybrid. If you haven't ridden for years, the hybrid usually feels more stable.

And where you're riding--trails or road? Nice roads, or roads that should have been repaired 20 years ago?

Either is a great choice. Try them both.

Just puttin' in a gratuitous ad for my hybrid. (which I also used in a triathlon and was in the top 1/4 for the bike leg, thankyouverymuch) (we just won't talk about my standings in the swim and run... )

My hybrid is great for tooling around town and running errands or for riding/lumbering slowly in the rain, but my road bike makes me feel powerful, fast and even a little graceful. I love them both and wouldn't want to do without either

I just have one bike, my road bike.

(surely I can't be the only one who has just one bike??)

I have a road bike that I am in love with. I've had her almost 2 whole months now! When I started looking at bikes, it was suggested to me that a hybrid would be easier to learn on and better for a starter bike. But I'm really glad I just went with a road bike instead. We have lots of hills here and I can't imagine trying to ride up them on a hybrid. Plus going down all these hills on a road bike is really fun...I'm starting to enjoy all that speed! Should I ever want to ride off road, I'll get a mountain bike too.
