Cycling behavior shouldnt be purpose specific (commute vs rec riding), it should be location specific (street vs MUP vs gravel or off-road path, etc).
+1 - I was going to say the same thing. Just because I am doing a different type of riding doesn't mean I should behave differently. I'm out on the road sharing space with cars either way I go.
