Maybe we should change the name of the forum to "Cycling to your place of Employment" to clear things up for you whiners. As far as I'm concerned, you can argue the semantics of "Commuting" all you want, but it's pretty clear that the spirit of the forum is transportational cycling (I think I just made that word up).
So, by that logic, anytime you take your bike (or walk, for that matter(why not??)) for any purpose (ie; 99% of trips), it is a commute. Bzzzzzz. Wrong again.
People, there are many dictionaries out there. Some of you may have actual dictionaries in your houses (not online!?!?!?!????). Open one up, and look at the definition. The key is _regularity_ in the travel. Let's not start making up our own definitions of words for our own purposes.
Now, I'm tired of this. I need to commute to the bar for a few.....
