I'm new to cycling and this forum, but looking forward to meeting some new friends.

Nice to have you kashride.
What bike do you ride?

My bike is a Cannondale Quick 4 right now. (No laughing.... I think most members here probably have much better bikes.) I upgraded from a comfort bike to Quick 4 for the sportiness. I am exploring the possibility of upgrading to a more expensive hybrid w/ skinny tires or an entry level road. Drop bars seem intimidating, since I've only had flat bars in the past. Any suggestions?
