I don’t think I would be keen that much on speed. I am more interested in a comfortable ride having had four back surgeries over the years. I would like to start commuting to work but I am reluctant a bit since cyclists seem to have stealth technology as far as the drivers are concerned! I may try an aluminum even rental from an LBS jist to get an idea.

Some riders like to go for the sport. That means faster speeds and longer distances. If this is you, then skip the curious mode and go straight up to the front of the line. If you like the way you ride now, then it may not matter what others tell you about aluminum or carbon fiber.
