Aesthetics.
On our way to Houston, Chris and Matt started talking about how beautiful road bikes are and how unattractive they find mountain bikes. I appreciate the efficiency of a road bike but I was shocked to realize that I've always found mountain bikes more attractive. But then again, I have an affection for all that is butch. Nonetheless, I have been thinking that eventually I'm going to have to get a road bike if I ever get serious about riding to work or doing the MS150 or the Hillcountry AIDS Ride. But a question came to mind yesterday. Doesn't it fucking hurt when you hit a bump on a road bike? Seems like your body is the only thing to take the shock. The larger frames and knobby mb tires are luxurious, where uneven roads and rough terrain are concerned...

yeah it can be jarring, but that's why you ride a road bike on the pavement and not on craggy creekbeds....
Yeah! but want about our city roads being riddled with potholes and construction debris?
