I multi-mode every day I go to work. I ride 7 miles to the Trenton train station, ride the train for an hour into NYC, ride 2.5 miles to my office; afternoon reverse the process but get off one stop before Trenton. The bike is a somewhat customized Downtube 8H, one of the best bikes I've ever had. It has about 4200 miles on it now.
Before that I rode a Downtube Mini for a few years (9000 miles), and before that a Strida. When I rode the Strida I kept it in a locker at the train station and rode a converted MTB to the station, leaving that in the locker while I was in the city.
