If I rode three miles or less in a wide open or more rural environment I might consider a "comfort bike".
I was however pleasantly surprised to find my hybrid well suited and very comfortable for longer rides as well as errands.
I'll agree, the hybrid lines are good at both long distance and errands. In fact, the hybrids borrow a lot from the cruiser's design principles.
Have you taken a cruiser for a ride? I'd recommend trying it once, if you haven't
