Vince - I am a roadie and a commuter (Avon/Canton to Hartford) about 9 months out of the year. I commute on a touring bike in the good weather and MTB (slicks) in foul weather. This week I have already commuted twice. This Friday it is supposed to be 60 degrees so I am going to bring out the touring bike. I also do rails/trails with my 3 kids.
