My argument was against the people telling the OP that a BMX bike would be good for a commute. Sure, it can be done and there are people who do it. But that doesn't mean that you should. Thats what I've been saying. If you're buying a bike specifically for a commute, its more worth the money to buy something that is set up better. Like any type of road bike whether it be ssfg for simplicity, or geared. That was my whole point, which I have stated several times.
