I would like to stay with a flat bar but the more I read the more I am beginning to understanding you can get used to the drop bar. Thanks in advance.

You're just a kid.

You NEED a road bike.

I started riding when I was 55. This was my first bike. Loved it.

Then in 2001 I bought this. I really love it.

I have ~35,000 miles on it so far.
I'll be 67 next week and bought this for an early birthday/Christmas present in October.

All my other bikes I've had since 1999/2000 have been road bikes or cyclocross bike, all with drop bars.

Now head over to the bike shop and look for a nice road for yourself.
