I had been biking quite a bit for the last 5 years so I figured it was time to get a really nice road bike. I was biking enough to justify that, right? I tested several bikes over several months until I found the one that just felt perfect for me. It was out of my price range, but it was so perfect that I bought it anyway... for what I considered to be an obscene amount of money for a bike. About 2 months later, I started having neck pain while riding and after. After finally having an MRI, I found that I have bone spurs in my spine and road bikes put me in too much of an aggressive position. I had to go out & buy a hybrid bike to get me into a more upright position. Now I have a crazy expensive piece of garage art that makes me want to vomit every time I look at it.

The hybrid that I just bought is a Specialized Sirrus. I love that thing.
