That is similar to my experience. Fifteen years ago I bought a comfort bike but soon wanted a mountain bike. I ride about 4000 miles per year and divide those miles among the bikes listed to the left. Save $ for the road bike and keep the hybrid. It is the bike in certain situations. In my case, my friends and I ride hybrids on the paved bike trails after dark through the winter. These spirited rides are safer without the baby strollers and joggers. It is so much better than the trainer.
