Right. Maybe I'm a hypocrite, but I recommend the type of bike that I don't like to ride. That's because I've been an athletic cyclist for a long time, and a townie bike might make me feel impaired. It might not actually impair me, but it would feel that way. I'm already molded to feel the way I do, and I'm prepared to pedal hard, unlike some others.
