I would, might, maybe consider a road bike for trundling the longer trips but they're ages away. Even then I'm not sure.

Even with my improvement, I still had to kids walk their BMX bikes passed me whilst I was struggling up the last hill to my house. Even some sheila had the audacity to walk passed. I realise I was in underdrive and that I deserved to be passed but in a few weeks I'll be able to go up that hill in second. It'll be a long way away that I get something else. By then the Giant will be busted and I'll have a legitimate excuse
There's an old Ray Bradbury story about where bicycles come from. Paperclips are the larva, clothes hangers are the pupa and bicycles are the adult stage. At any given time you might have lots of paperclips, then none, and lots of hangers, then none and then bicycles. I can't find a single spare hanger in my house but my garage is just full of bikes. Maybe it's true.
