Ok, I missed the highway part of your post. In that light, I don't blame you one bit. I ride roads daily, but highways still scare the bejeezus out of me. I've ridden on highways several times and while definitely fast and efficient they are also loud and terrifying. Here, the highways have very heavy semi traffic during the spring/summer due to the heavy ag industry, so that just makes it worse.

For paths, I absolutely love my current bike's setup. It's a stock 07 Hardrock sport with some 26x1.50 Nimbus Armadillo tires on it. On the bike path, I rarely get passed, and when I do it's only by skinny roadies. On the road, well, I get destroyed by roadies. It's a great setup, I love the wheels off it.
