Gosh, I don't know. I guess I just assumed so because my BF and friends commute on pretty nice road bikes, but maybe I was wrong? I also wanted a bike that would be fast on long rides. The commute is just bike path/lane the whole way, and I don't plan on riding in the winter, if that makes a difference?

Are you thinking I should look at cyclecross bicycles as well?

Thanks for the input, everyone!
