I agree old-school HTs make pretty good street bikes and commuters. I have one for that very purpose.
New-school “progressive” geo.... not so much,. I mean, they work, but not the most fun to ride on the street, IMO.

This time 3 people got emotional, believing I was spamming the forum to increase my post count from 7 to 8. On a forum I don't go to.
I _was_ expecting someone to reply to the comment I was quoting of course, but you learn something new every day.
Peace.

Well, I have to say each time a person does that you will get interesting responses (that's if the forum doesn't expire threads).

As so many have stated, road bikes and their tiny high pressure tires are not very practical for the average cyclist. Mountain bikes are tougher and just more useable since they can go anywhere. Yes they are in a way the pickup truck of cycling.
