nothing is wrong with riding single track on a commute. I've done it with the bike I use, which is an old gravel frame.
I just wouldnt call it shredding.
Obviously, bikes used for commuting are varied. I assume a rack and pannier(s) will be used since clothes, food, etc need to be carried. It just doesnt conjure up images of shredding(whatever that actually means).
