Ride your hybrid if you want! Isn't riding primarily about having a good time?! I had forgotten there for a while how much fun it can be to toodle around. I've been riding my old-mtn-bike-now-a-toodle-bike around the neighborhood and to the gym and really enjoying it. I still ride my road bike more, but it's nice to have a totally different riding focus every now and then. Schedule "dates" with your hybrid as your reward for learning how to ride your road bike (or vice-versa: schedule "dates" with your road bike, and keep a specific goal in mind). Before you know it you'll be looking forward to riding your sleek machine, too!
