Yep. Everyone's situation's conditions are different.
I have two steep hills between me and work, and sometimes I like to use the same bike to jet down to the sushi bar or the deutschebag-infested wine bistro where everyone shouts into their cellphones to be heard over everyone else shouting into their cellphones.
And I have to dress well for work. And I have a spare pair of wingtips under my desk. And I don't have to walk much in the shoes that help me get over the two hills on my commute and look pretty good with slacks.
