It's all about efficiency and the right "tool for the job".
You can expend the same amount of energy on both types of bikes, but you will always go faster on the road bike because it is more efficient. Better stance for pedaling power input and less resistance on many other fronts.
I like to ride fast and prefer the "efficiency" of my road bike over the "practicality" of my hybrid.
But it's pretty hard to carry a watermelon on the road bike... LOL!
