I put nearly 3000 miles on my Cypress last year, the first full year I had it. Included in those 3K miles are the Metric Half Tour de Sewer and the imperial Half LARiver Ride. And I still like to use it on Sundays when I ride 30-40 miles which include a stop at a farmers' market. I guess none of that is "serious riding," whatever the hell "serious riding" is.

Don't rag on the hybrids, you roadie snob.
