Great story Leah, One thing you might tell your friend is that there is a best bike for the task at hand. Don't ride a race bike unless you are racing or need to race at your peak to keep up with the people you want to ride with. Get another bike that is comfortable, suitable to carry things on a rack and fendered with a kickstand(!) for those other rides when racing is not needed.
I am more roadie than casual, and wear my clickety-clacks (road cleats on one bike, recessed MTB cleats on the others) because I believe that they will help me achieve what I want on the bike, but I am fortunate enough to have the finances and space for multiple bikes.
