Amyelice, no you didn't make a wrong choice with the comfort bike!

If you're planning to ride with your kids, there will be times you're just tootling around, and it's nice to be upright so you can see them well. DH rides with our grandson who's not yet three, and they have a ball exploring the neighborhood. He tends to ride with blinders on, I think, but when he's out with Xander, they see EVERYTHING!

I started out with a comfort bike too, and I don't ride it as much since I got my road bike -- at the moment because DH has swiped my wheels for his bike! I love my road bike when I want to go distances, but we have some short neighborhood loops that take us onto dirt roads, and for that, I need a little more substance than my dainty, but really powerful ride.
