I road bike. I have a GT Force 21 speed that I bought five years ago and has about 18,000 miles on it. The first three years I rode 4000 miles/year, the last couple 3000 miles/year. It's an inexpensive but durable road bike, which has had the drive trian and shifters replaced once.
I ride mostly state highways in the Hudson valley and in the Catskills, away from the towns here so the ttraffic isn't too bad.
