Well, one option would be to sell the Townie ... but if you're like me (or any of us really) you like having more than one bike.
You could keep an eye out on Craigslist for used bikes ... but quality women's bikes are sometimes few and far between. A vintage steel bike would be reasonably priced, but you'd have to have it given a good once over by a knowledgable friend or bike mechanic.
Or you could maybe mount narrower tires to get a marginal gain in terms of less rolling resistance, and save money toward a new road bike.
Either way, keep riding!
