My commute in 3.8 miles one way on mostly flat roads. I do have to share the road with cars which can be a little scary at times because its only one lane so cars will buzz by me but I've never had an incident. It's also great because I work at a bike shop so I never have to worry about locking it up, I can just roll it right in and set it next to the other bikes and even work on it if I want to once I'm off.
