Hybrid purchased around six years ago for commuting (6 mile round-trip), and after switching jobs and having to come way out of range by bike for a year I realized that I really liked riding everyday. So, I managed to get relocated at work to a great location to ride to, and somehow convinced my wife that a road bike would allow me to be faster to and from work. The next bike came after getting hit by a car, and the resulting insurance money. I half-heartedly tried to sell my bike, but my wife said if you can't still it for a certain amount then just keep it.
