Some would say to keep both and buy a third (hybrid). I say, get a bike you'll enjoy riding, let the others go to someone who (hopefully) will enjoy them -- if you think they will just collect dust if you keep them.

Well, I would agree; buy a nice hybrid, but don't sell your road bike yet. Give it some more time and just enjoy riding whatever bike you want to.
I say this, as despite the fact I have 2 very nice road bikes (one a little more touring oriented), I wish I had not sold my Jamis Coda, which was essentially a hybrid. That bike gave me so much joy as I rode it around town to do errands or go to farm stands. Having choice is a good thing.2015 Trek Silque SSL

Beth - I'm dealing with yet another knee injury, I'm planning to buy an Electra Townie in a couple of weeks, just so I can ride something! I'll keep the 7.4 until I find out if I can ever (want to) ride it again.
