My everyday commuter is my go to bike for short trips to the store, a casual ride with kids in the neighborhood, a run to the post office, etc. It has platform pedals, racks, and fenders. I ride it in everyday street clothes, and my commute to work is short enough I don't need to wear anything other than the clothes I wear at work. The bike is a nine speed/triple drive train with touring geometry and drop handlebars. It has one rear panier on it at all times with patch kit, CO3 inflator, bike lock, and depending on the weather, an extra jacket/rain jacket.
