Initial bike thoughts

A reasonably productive day rounded off with a pleasant bout of wandering around bike shops drooling at some of the merchandise. Having been pretty sure I was going to go for a road bike, I found myself surprisingly tempted by some of the hybrids — probably the most practical option — but I still think my heart lies elsewhere. I think the only way I'm going to be able to to settle it is to set aside a day or two when the weather is good and test ride a whole load of different makes and models to see how they grab me.
