Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have a 40yr. old road bike with pretty relaxed geometry that I use for bumming around town. (Saddle and bars about even...spring-type saddle, extension brake levers, etc...). It works well for that. No need for a third bike.

I've got a GT transeo hybrid (with a suspension fork) that I use for towing a trailer, running to the grocery store etc.

My cannondale doesn't have anywhere to mount a rack properly, so I don't use it for anything besides being kitted up and riding by myself or with groups.

it saves the wear and tear on my road bike.
