I'm biased...
...I have a road racing bike. I love it, and haven't, nor plan on, racing it. Mine's a Cervelo, but they are minimum $1000 used. However, I used to own a very early 80's Peugeot that can be had used easily for $200.00.
After a year to a year and a half of riding, you can cruise on these bikes @ 20 plus mph on the flats, so you can get a great work out in, AND get to where you're going relatively quickly (noticed I said, 'relatively')
Anywho, hope this helps.
