Not a very good choice for commuting, but "it could be used for commuting" if the cyclist is so inclined to make pretend he is John Tomac, or perhaps is one of those commuters (I read so much about on BF) who commutes dozens of miles each way up and down mountain sides. Yeah, its just the ticket for those "commuters."
