I agree that Mtn. Bicycles are heavier!! A road
bicycle ("10 speed") will certainly be easier if your
ride is on pavement. I have 3 bicycles: (1)A cheap
mountain bicycle that I use for short errands & casual
city rides-almost never off pavement though. (2)A
touring road bicycle that I have used to carry camping
gear & go off on to tour a series of local state
parks--again all on pavement. And my "good" bicycle -- (3)a
1970s model road racing frame that I found for $25.--
at a resell-it shop. I upgraded with some alloy
components to 18 speeds & use it to chase my friends on
group rides.<br><br>happycycler/Karl
