if you're riding distance, get a bike meant for the road. the bike i use to ride to school i picked up off the end of someone's drive + refurbed. Cost me 5$ to get it functional (brake pads). Cost me an additional 210$ to make it "better" (cheap wheelset, handlebar tape, new chain, clipless pedals).

get discipline-specific bikes, or a SC Chameleon + second wheelset.
