I mix it up but most of the times I'm trying to move along briskly. If I get to commute regularly then I turn it into a race. The only time I hold back is if I know I'm going to also commute the next day.
I've edited to say that I normally bike for exercise purposes. Because of that I'm trying to do sprints, climbs, etc.
