Bikes: "Hildy", a Novara Randonee touring bike; a 16-speed Bike Friday Tikit; and a Specialized Stumpjumper frame-based built-up MTB, now serving as the kid-carrier, grocery-getter.
Road bikes... meh. I commute 40 miles RT on a mountain bike. It works well if you haul a lot of stuff.
Whatever you get, make sure it has eyelets for a rack. Too many road bikes skimp on this.
