I have 2 bikes which I suppose you could say are commuter specific. However, for my purposes are good general purpose bikes.
They both have fenders, lights and sprung Brooks saddles.

#1- 05 Breezer Freedom 3 speed.
#2- Bianchi 06 Castro Valley 1x9 with drop bars.

I'm primarily a comuter and recreational rider. I try to commute (9.6 miles each way) by bike at least three times aweek.
The Navy SEAL's have a saying- "One is none, two is one".

MyBikeGotStolen

The funny thing is, it has been on Craigslist for a week now with only one reply. He didnt want it cuz it was a steel frame! I was thinking that since the car I do drive is an 92 Nissan, I might just keep it in the back seat (the trunk leaks water) for the day that the car finally gives up its ghost!

EDIT: I even used the word "Fixed Gear" in the title thinking that one of these college kids would grab it up and make a fixie

ItsJustMe

I have one bike, period. If it breaks, I fix it fast. Luckily it's only broken in minor ways. It's a $300 bike with > 12,000 miles on it. I recently replaced the bottom bracket and built a new front wheel so I could move to disc brakes.
My wife has a similar bike I could ride in a pinch.

Mushroom! Mushroom!

One bike here (well, technically two, but the other is stationed permanently at vac. home [beater mtb]), which I use for everything: pretty heavily upgraded Giant Rainier, circa. 2004/5. Not much left stock on it, 'cept frame, headset, brakes and fork. Latter two are next on the list. Current setup runs Mavic 717 disc rims on XT hubs, Panaracer Pasela TG 1.5" tires, Sram X9 drivetrain w/gripshift, LX/HTII crank, etc. I'm basically a high-mileage daily commuter + rec/fitness rider; given road/weather conditions here, works for me, although I'm always toying with the idea of adding a roadbike, if I can find the room in the apt. to store it -- or go nuts and get something like a 'Civia' or a Thorn/Rohlof. I'm fortunate to be able to keep my bike in my office at work, so have no worries about running what (for me) is a pretty heavy investment as a commuter.

roseskunk

three raleigh sport are my commuters. the differences? one's copper, one's green, one's cream.
but i've got it tough, my commutes about 1/2 mile...

robtown

I have 6 bikes, 5 I've used for commuting, one is not refurbished yet.

Raleigh Gran Sport, full fendres, ss/fixie, panniers
Schwinn Paramount 8 speed double
Fuji World built as 9 speed double, aerobars, panniers, DIY halogen, air horn, rear fender, rack
Miyata aluminum lugged, CF wrapped, TT bars, built as 9 speed double
Dawes Super Galaxy tourer, 27" wheelset, to be refurbished
Giant Yukon MTB, 96, front suspension, fenders. I hate this for commuting but will mount Nokian studded snow tires when the time comes

Lamplight

Everything in my sig gets ridden to work at least every once in a while except for the Schwinn and Peugeot (the rear wheel is messed up). The ones I ride the most are the Mongoose and the KHS, followed closely by my Univega and Nishiki. I've actually only ridden the Schwinn Sierra to work once, and the Peugeot twice before the wheel went bad. I rarely ride the Bianchi or Bertoni, but when it's nice out and I don't need to haul anything I sometimes use them for fun.

robcycle

My primary commuter is a fixed-cross conversion with 38's and 46/18. Gary bars, knog frog, bar-end blinkies, clip-on rear fender, front brake, and it normally wears BMX flats.

Wet weather commuter is an 80's Schwinn World Tourist that was my mother's when I was a kid. I first rode it from a child seat. Fenders, 3-speed hub with coaster brake, the Scott bars from the 90s that have barends that transition into aerobars, also a rack and basket in the back.

SS MTB commuter is an old lugged steel frame with 2" slicks, a flipped riser bar, and 48/14. Flat black, heavy, and it looks mean.

Fixed beach cruiser with 700x38's, BMX bars and stem, and a bell (Friday bike in the summer)

Felt F-90, stock, worked better for commuting when I lived further from work.

Monocog 29er, 32/20 free 32/18 fixed. I'll ride it to work if we ever get any snow.

Oh, and an aluminum hardtail, SS at 34/18 with 2.5" tires. Its like a monster truck, and I'll ride it to work if ALL of my other bikes are broken.

So seven bikes

-Rob.

I have four bikes that I use for commuting. All my other bikes will get ridden in if all else fails.

- 2006 RANS Rocket. SWB recumbent fitted with a S-A XFDD dynohub & lights, mudguards, rear rack and bag. This is my main bike and I've just put 2000km since July.
- Burco Super Riviera. Reynolds tubing, mudguards, dynamo lighting, Brooks B66 and north road bars. I nice bike to ride and a useful commuter to boot.
- Healing Cruiser. NZ made copy of the Raleigh 20. Three speed hub, mudguards and dynamo lighting. This is just a cheap bike for short errands and going to parties.
- Healing Cruiser Fixie. Fixed gear commuter made from a Healing Cruiser. Fitted with homemade bullhorns, Brooks B17 and shimano dynohub. Only been built about three days. planned to be my wet/winter commuter.

All three of my current bicycles can and have served as commuters. It does help that work and school are about a mile from my house.

First, my Surly Long Haul Trucker. My primary commuting and utility ride, built for hauling loads, not for hauling butt. Aggravatingly, the only one presently equipped with fenders, and compromised fenders at that. Needs a bit of work to be in tip-top shape. Still, I have no bike better suited to getting me around on any road conditions, in any weather, with just my lonely self or a bunch of groceries.

Second, my Univega Gran Record. A nice, mid-range 80's road bike that I upgraded to 7-speed shifting not long after I bought it a little over a year ago. This bike is fast and maneuverable, by far the most fun to ride of my collection. Because it's mostly my primary recreational road bike (and, hopefully, racing bike in the spring), it stays pretty well stripped. In better days to come, I will have the money for a newer, lighter road bike, and the Univega will get some fenders to improve its usefulness for commuting and rainy or winter training.

Third is my mongrel of a '65 Raleigh Sports, with a scavenged fork from a Centurion Le Mans Mixte (french vanilla against the black frame) and 27-inch wheels. It's a singlespeed cobbled together from various parts that I had lying around. Even before I converted it to big wheels, some long-ago child had removed the fenders and chainguard. This is a bit annoying, and will be corrected as winter gets deeper - it is little use without those fenders. It's definitely a beater winter bike, which I will happily subject to the nasty weather - my sum total investment is less than $20. It is also pleasantly ugly and decrepit-looking, which should serve to inhibit theft. Not a joy to ride, but it gets the job done, and it only needs to go a mile each way, so that's not a big deal.

Anyway, them's my bikes. I'm also in the long, slow practice of building up a mountain bike, which I thoroughly expect will see a commute or two, despite the fact that it will be the least-suited of all my machines to my commuting needs.

2 -

a mtb (rigid steel, with rear rack and 1" slicks) used most days and locked in the office,

and an old 80s steel road 'sport' bike - I'll use that tomorrow, as I have an appointment after work and need to lock up outside for a few hours. No rack, so backpack comes inside with me, and one Kryptonite chain to go thru both wheels on shorter wheelbase.

cyclezealot

Two commuter bikes , but one of the two is better suited for long distance cycling. Still, my race bike, i have used it for multiple day tours when going sag.

nemo

Never enough!

caloso

I call my fixed gear my commuter and it's what I ride pretty much exclusively during the winter, but during dry weather all of my bikes see commuting duty, including my race bike.

2. I just got a Raleigh One-Way that is now my primary commuter, and i've got my 3spd Stretch Cruiser for when I want to relax a little more.

Sirrus Rider

I have three.

The primary is my hybridized Alpine Monitor Pass 26" wheeled mountain bike. It serves as a heavy commuter for hauling more than three bags long distances. It's kinda like a a small pickup or a conventional sedan.





Number two is my '07 Specialized Sirrus which is set up as what I call a "Sport Commuter" Designed and designated for two panniers and a rack bag. It's concept is to be an everyday "grab and go" rider and a backup to the heavy commuter.



The third commuter is my '07 Schwinn Town and Country Trike. It's a short distance VERY HEAVY load/Grocery hauler and weekend job commuter. In the latter role it's nice to not have to futz with panniers just drop clothes etc. in the basket and roll.

Sawtooth

All five used within the last month:

Primary: 2005 Kona Major Jake cyclocross: Transworld Cities 32's (love em), no rack, plenty fast but comfy and off road-able, zip tie fenders when needed.
2ndary: 1982 Steel Peugeot Road Bike: 1X9 DT gearing, no rack. Heavy but fast and fun to ride, zip tie fenders when needed.
3rd: Giant TCR-0; my race bike, used on fast days and for taking the long way home; Quick release fenders.
4th: 1994-ish Jamis Explorer MTB; no rack, fully rigid, Transworld Cities (love em), offroad-able but fast. Quick Release Fenders
5th: 2002 Giant NRS1: My nice mtb; full suspension, only fast off-road, a bit of a tank to haul around.

No racks; backpack user here.

truman

I've ridden 3 of my 4.5 bikes to work. The SS MTB wouldn't cut it. My wife owns the other half of the tandem and she works somewhere else.

savethekudzu

HAVE: One 2008 Trek 7000 hybrid, with rack/fenders/lights/panniers
WANT: A folder and a drop-bar tourer or cyclocross

Boudicca

Only one bike at any one time. It's too hard to steer with one hand and bring the other one along for the ride.

Hot Potato

I'm with feetanddooth,

one fair weather and one foul weather. Of course, I was thinking of one more, for those days that start out fair and end up foul.

girljen

Only one bike*. It's a K2 T-Nine Crosswind, nicknamed the Little B*tch. It has a really cool bell. It's my ride to work during the week, and with the addition of my Bell child trailer, my station wagon on the weekends.

*...until I get my Cross Check, wheee!

crhilton

I have my commuter, which I just got. She's all decked out. Racks, fenders, the works.

I have my old commuter (I didn't count it) which I'm selling.

I have my road bike (I didn't count it) which I commute on if my commuter is in the shop.

genec

1 commuter/"truck"
1 slick fast "racing" bike
1 fat tire ss cruiser
1 full suspension MTB.

All for different uses.
