- you're most likely right about the forum part, but there are some instances where a road bike would be useless and a hybrid much more appropriate...
- to the OP, here are some questions you may want to consider:
1. how much money do i have to spend?
2. how serious am i going to be about the bike as a hobby/interest?
3. how am i going to use the bike? (fitness, recreation, life change, commute, shopping)
4. what are the road conditions where i live?
5. will you ever want to ride across expanses of grass or dirt?
