90% of my riding is commuting. The other 10% is mountain biking. I do more miles commuting then anybody I know does road or mountain biking, and its far more then what Richc said. Commuters are a lot more hard core then Claire implied. If I don't do my own repairs, I'll be late or miss work or class, so I think commuters are more incined to do their own repairs.
