If you're not sure if you'd like riding a road bike, maybe consider renting one for a weekend and see how you do. $70 to have it for a couple days. See if it's for you. Even the low end road bikes will run you $1000 new so it's a good way to test it out without dropping more on a bike that will collect dust.
