I have in my mind, the specs of what I consider to be the ideal commuter bike but if all of you did the same, each one of us would have a different bike because of commuting-distance, terrain, environmental conditions, fitness, financial resources and so many more variables that in the end, almost every make and model of bike would end up on the collective list.

I think it might be interesting for all of us to get together (virtually) and design a commuter bike based on voting: 24", 26" or 700c wheels; narrow, medium, wide tires; slick, moderate, knobby; disc-, caliper-, v-brakes; etc.
