But anyway, I always feel like I'm on an escalade - so high and comfy - when I ride my hybrid and I'm so much more confident on it. Riding my roadbike gives me anxiety and I dont notice till I rid my hybrid and realize how intuitive riding is supposed to be. I just have to give it time I guess.
There's definitely a learning curve with road bikes. It took me quite a while to get comfortable. If you haven't done so already, get your road bike fitted.
