I tried to get into full autism road cycling but gradually turned my road bike into a cruiser. It was fun going hella fast at first but the position left a lot to be desired when cruising around the city all day, so I replaced the clipless pedals with "half clips" and raised the handlebars to the point where it looks a bit retarded.
Bought meself a mountain bike and I'm going to sell the road bike. It seems like the ideal compromise. Upright position for comfiness, lockable front fork for versatility, and the ability to hit the trails, which seems way more fun than chewing up miles on smooth roads. It's not much heavier than my road bike at 12.5kg vs 10.3kg.
