I had buyer's remorse for NOT buying a Hybrid first. I bought a comfort cruiser first and should have known better. My internal drive to push myself made the comfort cruiser bothersome in about 200 miles. Now I have a Trek FX 7.2 and DS 8.3 and really enjoy them. Did a 30 mile ride on the FX today. I figure at some point I'll drop enough weight and want to ride greater distances and then a road bike will make sense. For now, I'm tearing up my local bike trail on my hybrids
