Nick, most cycle fanatics end up with multiple rides. most folks I know have at least 3, road bike, MTB, town beater. if you own a bike currently, maybe that one is destined to be your beater. slap some slicks on it, and clean up the drivetrain. as to your next ride, if you want to ride single-track, than your friends are right, get a mid-range MTB hardtail. if you don’t have a bike that can work as your town beater, look into getting a cheep wheel set, and put slicks on that. if you can only afford a second set of tires, and not the wheelset, thats ok, it’s just easier to work the quick release, rather than swap a tire..

Get a fitness hybrid, Trek’s 7.3 fx is the best bet for what you are saying, or Trek’s Portland. Double-walled rims and a strong, but light aluminum frame.

You can get cross-over tires put on your bike. They are great for both road and mountain biking- you will love them. Best of luck

get a really light hard tail mtb with a front shock that locks out. then you only need to change the tires based on pavment or trail.
