Road bike owners: do you commute? What's your commuter?
I'm curious to know what road bike owners use to commute. Your road bike? Another bike? What kind?

Road Bike: Cannondale CAAD 9
Tandem: CoMotion Speedster Bike for commuting, touring, getting a workout with the paceline and all other riding: Salsa Vaya |
I have multiple cyclocross bikes for commuting, gravel, winter and rainy weather.
|
Road Bikes: S-Works Roubaix SL2, Specialized Secteur Sport
Commuter: Planet X Kaffenback, Alfine 8-speed rear hub, Alfine dynamo front hub, reflective Velocity Dyad rims, Topeak rack, Shimano CX disc brakes (so much better feel and sound than Avid BB5/7 it's not even funny), and SuperNova dynamo lights. |
Yamaha
Too far to push to work. |
Road Bike: GT Edge 853 '98.

My feet. I commute to the basement.
When I had an office to commute to I started with a huffy mountain bike. Moved to a hybrid and from there to a touring bike. Once that was destroyed I replaced it with a fixed gear that was also destroyed and then replaced with another fixed gear. That bike is being replaced with a cx bike as I have grown to despise the whole one gear can't stop pedaling BS. Though I suppose I could throw a free wheel on it instead. |
Salsa Vaya. Disc brakes, low gears, fenders, and an ever-changing assortment of lights.

Road bike is a C'dale CAAD9
I commute on the CAAD9 on nice days and an S-works tricross other days. |
I commute on my road bike -- a Bikes Direct aluminum-framed road bike w/ SRAM Force, and a rear clip-on fender. I do mostly fair-weather commuting, as my commute is atypically long, and I don't like to suffer.

We have secure bike boxes so I do not hesitate to ride my race bike, particularly if I have a scheduled interval session or if there is an evening group ride.

Specialized Allez.

I commute 3-5 days a week dependent on the weather. 18 miles roundtrip. Normally commute on my Quick 4 but have started commuting on my CAAD10 more often now that I'm more comfortable on it(1st road bike). Found a slice on the sidewall of my GP4000S tire this morning upon arrival. Promptly ordered some folding Gatorhardshells and it looks like I'll start commuting on it even more now. This is my 2nd sidewall cut in a couple months. I recently put regular Gatorskins on the Quick after a sidewall slice. I just went with the Hardshells this time to try them out since the sidewall protection is supposed to be better. I just park whatever I ride in an unused cubicle.

I use a different bike for my commute.
