I'm fortunate that I have several excellent bikes. None are really high end or collectible, and all get ridden. I choose the one best suited the commute of the day.
Rain? I ride the Turino Pro with its fenders and water resistant panniers and handlebar bag.
Nice weather (<10mph headwind) and I feel energetic? The fixed gear and a backpack.
Wind, but otherwise nice enough out (no drenching rain)? The racing style bike with a backpack for its better aerodynamic positioning.
So, that's how I choose. My lock at work is secure, and there is zero chance of theft at our facility.
