^ I think he was mainly referring to what bike someone chooses to ride. Commuting against traffic or being a general ass isn't associated with one type of bike, it's based on the person.

This. Who cares what you ride as long as you're out riding it. Whether or not it's the best bike for the job is not based solely on technical aspects, some people choose to ride a certain bike because it's more fun for them. I sometimes get jibes for riding my bike because it may not be a traditional commuter but isn't a commuter bike just a bike you ride to work? I'm glad to be out there rain, snow, or shine.
