I was actually talking to my friend who is really into bikes, and when I told him I was thinking about a hybrid he responded with an "its alright" in a tone I could tell that he looked down upon them. So I'm still trying to get other opinions and things like that. I just want to bring up a question I had in my previous post, would it be wrong/weird if I were to just get a road bike then swap out the bars to something I don't need to really hunch over to ride?

Thanks as always.
