You know...I would like to do a tour someday, too! DH and I are researching touring vacations. I would just love that type of bike for commuting, at this point. To be able to zip along, confident that I'm on a bike that can take the ruts, the dirt patches, the fenders, and the load would be a riot.
I'm socking money away...and researching...perhaps in March or April!
But still...no regrets. My road bike has (forgive the expression) changed my life. I went from being a boring blob of a person to a healthy, active woman with interests that get me excited and a real sense of empowerment.

"I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood."
Susan B. Anthony, 1896
