I have a hybrid that I bought for commuting. It became my regular daily use weekender too, taking me on long distance rides....until my skill level outgrew it for distance riding.

Now I commute on the hybrid, which is perfect for that. And I have a gravel bike for the long distance trail riding.

And now I'm starting to get to the point on the trails where I venture as far off the beaten path as I can go and start to think "man I wish I could ride that slightly overgrown rocky trail over there...." and the only reason I don't have a true mountain bike right now is because I have no place to store one in my house. But I still kinda want one....

It's an addiction. There would be a 12 step program for cyclists except we don't take steps. We pedal.

(I have no true road bikes because I look too good in Lycra and don't want to distract all the women driving cars past me. Safety first....)
