OK, thanks for this thread you guys. I was just having this argument with hubby the other day. I have only been biking for two months after a 20 year hiatus and am quickly trying to get up to speed, so to speak, on all the new stuff that's out there. I am riding a MTB with slicks but lusting after a road bike. Hubby prefers MTBiking and so that's what I ended up buying. I have now decided that if I continue my new love for biking, I am definitely going to buy a road bike next year. Because I am still out fo shape and not strong on the hills, and there are lots around here, I thought I'd want to get a triple. He says "Road bikes don't have triples", rolling his eyes... I said, "So what? I'll look around and find one." I suspect it's just another thing he finds "uncool" about my riding, similar to the "no carriers" rule (or whatever they're called now), and the "no fenders" rule (which seemed really dumb to me today when it rained for the last hour of our ride and I absolutely soaked from the muddy water rooster tail hitting me from in front and behind...).

I finally convinced him I at least needed a bike seat bag after he found himself having to carry all my stuff (cell phone, inhaler, snack bar, etc.) Some men.... argh... (Granted he is an avid mountain biker and doesn't want ANYTHING hanging on his bike that might get snagged on bushes etc..)
