We just have a bicycle market where people can pick and choose whatever bike they want to ride to work and add or take away parts as needed. Kind of lets us be individuals instead of conforming to someone's idea of what a "commuter bike" should be. Kinda like the guy in the Infiniti Conformity ad, even though the Infiniti isn't all that "individual"

You should see the bikes that I see (and attempt to keep running every Saturday) being used for commuting.
