I do a good bit of what I call piddling around town on my old rigid MTB from time to time. I like exploring neighborhoods and cruising around downtown and near the college campus. Be careful about that impatience at stoplights. You can put yourself into a very dangerous situation where a car driver does not expect what you do. I try to avoid ever riding on a sidewalk.
My favorite riding is on my road bikes on two lane country roads with light traffic. The only bike I ride with suspension is my full suspension MTB which is strictly for singletrack, trails and an occasional dirt or gravel road. I can't stand riding it on pavement.
