Also you may consider a Cyclo-cross or Touring bike. Touring bikes are similar to CC bikes but usually a little more relaxed seating position. I havea cyclo-cross bike, a Kona that I will never trade for anything. Great for commuting (esecially in the burgh) Holy crap i’m spamming! Also you may consider a Cyclo-cross or Touring bike.

There are many shops to get a sport road bike from. (duh) I used to work at BikeTek in Monroeville. I don't know if that location is still open or not. I didn't care quite as much for the gentlemen at the squirrel hill location, however. That said, BikeTek provides the Jamis brand of bikes, quite a nice build if you ask me. The sport road bikes (if I remmeber correctly) have a more upright seating position, which greatly diminishes both pain and the need for spandex. They have all the benefits of a good road bike, but not all the hassle. So BikeTek is an option, but my personal favorite was Gatto cycles. It's in a little building on Liberty (I think...) that houses an organic food store and a rock climbing wall, also nearby is Construction Junction. If my old buddy John is working, you should tell him I sent you and to say hey to him. He's a good sort, and knows his stuff, and if he's still there he's been there for like 10 years. (or so) Anyway they carry Specialized which has some of my favorite newer bikes out there. So Gatto first, BikeTek second. That's how i'd roll were I still in PGH. Sorry for the lengthy post! Kim!

I'll have to check them out. I'm so excited! Of course, now that I've gone and <a href="http://www.watermelonwaistline.com/2009/05/accident-prone/" rel="nofollow">pulled a groin muscle</a>, it'll probably have to wait a few weeks. Doh!
