I am thinking of graduating. About five years ago I bought a diamondback hybrid. I hardly rode it for two years, and then started riding a lot in the winter when I am in Texas. It was nice enough for the flats. Now, I am in an area where I would like to ride in the spring, summer and fall. There are many hills where I live. I find the hills tough, but partly it is my weak 56 year old out of shape engine. I am riding 3 to 5 miles a day and it is work.

Part of the summer I will live where there are dirt roads only and a fair amount of hills. This bike isn't that great on loose gravel.

I am not sure what to graduate to. One thing for sure, I do not like my seat and want something else. Plus, I always feel like my body just isn't in the right position unless I am riding on the flats. And even that isn't all that great.

Maybe I'll start a thread asking for ideas. I am seriously considering a trike.
