I went from an old steel hardtail MTB with slicks to a road bike. No regrets at all about making the switch.

The only regret I have is about the process. I let myself be pressured by my now ex-husband to buy it quickly, and to just buy what he had recently bought. I still have the bike, and it turned out to be a great first bike for me, so it all turned out OK.

But, I remember furtively trying to make a couple quick test rides on other bikes, and I will never forget this one beautiful, bright red, super light, Cannondale. Since I was so new, I really didn't know how to test ride, and I just caved in and got the other bike. But, I like to shop and be thorough, compare everything, get all the data. I regret rushing into my choice. Now I wish I had a fast, light, gorgeous red road bike!
