I'm thinking about getting a road bike in the near future. I keep hearing that road bikes are not that comfortable. If that's the cast, it would seem to me that the only reason someone would own a road bike would be for speed or for racing. Are there any other reasons someone would prefer a road bike over a comfort bike.
I would like to do some long rides. Right now I'm doing 25-30 miles on a mountain bike (hard frame) fitted with 1.5 road tires. Takes me about 2-2 and a half hours. I would like to do longer rides, but I just don't know if I want to sacrifice comfort for speed.
Any Suggestions?
