Hi i have been commuting to work 13 miles each way through boston on some rough roads. I have been using a rigid mountain bike. I am interested in getting a road bike but am not sure if that would be the best bike to get for commuting exspecally in the winter time so i was thinking about mabey getting a cyclocross. What do you think would be the best allaround bike. Thank you for the help

Gary Fisher Montare. Road bike fast, mountain bike tough. or so G. Fish says, in reality, its a great all around bike.

many companies make hybrid/comfort bikes. they are a bit upright, but thats more comfy for most people, and they can be had with 700c wheels, and suspension forks. I bought my girlfriend a Trek 7100, and she can roll around pretty good. you definitely want suspension for rough roads, my road bike i almost stop for rail road crossings...tooo rough.
