if it is post a picture and tell us about it and how far you commute.
please
nope, my work bike is 🙂 🙂
My (usual) commuter is my tourer, so yes.
However, I am considering getting a new commuter (Alfine etc) after the ravages of the winter have taken their toll. Total commuting distance is in the region of 5,000km per year and I doubt that any other of my bikes will see that.
My road bike has already had more miles on it than my mtb this year and I only got it last week 0_0
Yes it is . . . although I've yet to commute on it (only finished the build on Thursday and now it's half term . . . yay!). Back to just one bike . . . at a time 😉 . Commute is only about 3 miles but the return route is as long as I want it to be 😛
yes, commute 7 miles a day

I'm sick of trashing tyres and wheels though, so I'm getting something else to commute on and saving this for weekend miles, especially as I've just got new wheels
yes by a long way, presently a revolution cross sport, soon to be a lighter and sportier cross bike when i seel this one and the current road bike that seems to get used less and less
mine is, I don't have many opportunities to ride outside of commuting...
did fettling today, greasing headset, new brake blocks and chain - the cracks between the down tube lug and headtube are getting worse, may be time to start looking for a replacement
Mine is used more in winter than any other bike. Steadily trashing it though (steel Dawes Tekarra mtb with skinny slicks and full mudguards). My Cyclescheme Ribble Sportive is getting a few miles though (and will get ridden solid through the summer). 12 miles each way.
Yep, 24 miles a day commute and this is usually extended on the way home, as irregular shifts/ and a family mean it's the best way to get the miles in. Just fitted the flats today, as its getting to child seat and trailer time of year, the drops will be back for winter....

and I am just struck with the thought, I now own a hybrid............. 😥
Unfortunately yes, it's an old marin alpine trail so not worth a pic. But it's nice to have the option of a bit of off road to or from work.
Yep. It's a Cross Check and I am using broken wrist time to make it sweet. New campag bits and just built silver pro 3 hubs into open pro rims.
Believer in having a good one to commute on.
Will be using the wheels on 2 bikes as well come summer so makes sense to have good uns.
It's got a B17 as well as all commuters should.
My commute is more fun then yours. Fact.

Actually that's a lie, a winter of solid commuting on this with a crap bb and hubs has left it falling to pieces. And hills are horrible. So are rough roads. And its too high a gear to really sprint away from the lights. Apart from that though I love it.
I'm on this more times then any other of my bikes during the week, but do far more miles on other bikes.
I commuted by BMX all last week . . . nearly blinkin' killed me. It's on ebay now 😆 . Only upside was that it was a hell of a lot easier to lift over the school fence once I got there.
mamadirt - MemberBMX all last week . . .. It's on ebay now
mama in bike selling shocker!!!! 😉
yes - 3.75 hours a week +.
It's getting rebuilt just now after getting a disc mount added.
yep
97 kona lava dome
14 miles a day through the mean streets of london
recently converted it to 1x9 with a 44t ring and a modified superstar xc guide, i also put sram attack shifter and a rapid rise mech on it so it matches my other 2 off-road bikes with sram shifters and rr shimano mechs

0 miles on main bike this year :(.......115 on the commuter. Hopefully it'll all change in the spring/summer though.<crosses fingers>
The commuter.

I'm settled now ron . . . no really 😆
Just put my 20,000th mile on this:
15ish miles each way. 3 days a week winter, 4 or 5 in the summer, plus club runs in the Winter
[img] 
[/img]
Can't be bothered looking at last year so a very feeble 2011 mileage is what you're going to see now.
Totals for 2011
chameleon(9): 313 miles
Roadlite(3): 99 miles
And since everything else is snapped, my chameleon is bizarrely my current commuter. So yes.
[img] 
[/img]
1999 Kona frame, once belonging to my son which has slowly evolved. Many miles to work, pub, runs and a few tours over the years!
It's my most ridden and favourite too, clocking up a steady 45 miles a week.
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
yep
500 mile this year commute is 7 miles each way so doing somewhere between 50 and 100 a week
still getting out on my mtb twice a week but only 30-40 miles a week on that
Bigger photo!

It's now the only bike I have but it does me ok for about 7 miles each way on the very empty car free redways we have in Milton Keynes. I just wish we have some more features on the route like some of the stair pics from the thread yesterday just to spice the ride up.

3 days out of the 4 day shift, 38 miles each way. 566 miles so far since 1st Jan compared with a poxy 125 for the MTB.. Something wrong there.
yep,
kona dew drop cross(ish) with pro2/open pro.
25 miles a day with up to 800m climbing depending on route.
Only do it 2 days a week though. No pictures yet
yes, covered 6,500km out of an 8,000km total on this last year. 36 miles a day up to 4 times a week:

Been doing a 50 mile week for a year. Its not clean anymore.

I mis-read and thought you asked [i]Is your computer your most ridden bike?[/i]
Thought it was cutting satire for a moment. 🙂
In touring mode:
[img] 
[/img]
Round trip of 34 miles. 3 days a week in winter, 4 or 5 days in summer. Does winter training duties as well.
Moving house soon, with a new commute of 50 miles round trip.
TBH, it's a good friend, but I'm falling out of love with it at the moment. I feel the need to ride my carbon road bike to work for a while. Once I've moved house, I think I'll treat it to a new drivetrain and some rebuilt wheels.
Definitely! 669 miles so far this year, 27 mile round trip on a GT ZUM.
Yep, unfortunately my road bike is used more than my mtb, for commuting only.
Currently 11.5miles each way, company moving in May to extend to round about 15-16 miles each way. More hilly too 🙁

(has a road stem now)

15 miles up the exe valley, only once a day at the moment... ironic that my cheepest' bike that i have little interest in gets ridden the most, (by a long way too)
During winter, my Scott CX Team is my commuter. I do 40ish miles three days a week during winter. I also race on it, so it's certainly my most used bike. I also sometimes commute on my road bike during the summer, but commuting makes up the most of my miles all through the year.
my commuter is the most [i]frequently[/i] use bike in the stable - it gets used twice a day, but only for 2.5 miles each way... so it prob does 25miles/week
[img] 
[/img]
the most mileage bike though, at the moment, is the singlespeed road bike.
Quite a few on here confirming what I've said in the past: It's worth spending a fair bit on your commuter as it's he bike you'll be on the greatest amount of time.
Oh yes. I'm currently doing 4 days a week, 15 miles in, 17 miles (with bonus hill) return. So approx 120 miles a week commuting, I might do 40 miles a week on the MTBs.
Might put a picture up this evening. It's had it's 2nd ever wash on saturday so is still relatively shiny 🙂
Depending on how far I go on a sunday on the road bike my commuter is normally my most used bike. 80 to 100 mile s week depending on how I feel.
Genesis day one single speed, absolutely love it. go's along on the roads OK, and is more than happy on bridles and in the snow!

yeah, if I was doing more miles, I'd have something more exotic. Mine's a cheapy built from spares get me to work & round town - it gets parked outside the sports centre, in town centre etc... so I don't want anything too bling for nickability reasons. It's also not the end of the world if it does get nicked...
Yes by quite a long way, don't have a pic so here have a look at a random strangers pompino, mine's similar.
[img] 
[/img]Stock parts replaced as they wear out/get stolen/get destroyed by cars, 25miles return commute, 3-4 times a week. I [i]just[/i] managed more offroad miles than road last year so I guess if I only had one mtb (shudder) that'd do more miles than the commuter.
[img] 
[/img]
10 miles to work, 10 miles back.
Have started upping the distance of late to make it 15m each way with a play in the woods 
BUT your going to be wearing it out double quick time, brakes, wheels, tyres, drivechain. Plus if you're like me you neglect it and if you have to lock it anywhere bits get pinched (even bolted on bits dammit!) If I lived in california and had a good xc commute and a safe place to store it at work I'd have a very nice mountain bike. As it is I use a mudguarded SS road bike with cheap to replace parts 🙂Quite a few on here confirming what I've said in the past: It's worth spending a fair bit on your commuter as it's he bike you'll be on the greatest amount of time
Yes (Ill post pics from home
Commute 20 miles a day and love it. I keep a spreadsheet of my miles per day and I have just worked out I have done 15% more cycling on my commuter this year, which suprises me!
I love commuting on the bike and when I cant I am a tad gutted.
My commuter is also my training bike... Covers 200-250miles a week!
Quite a few on here confirming what I've said in the past: It's worth spending a fair bit on your commuter as it's he bike you'll be on the greatest amount of time.
Agreed- it's the only consistent riding I get lately, so I want to get something out of it other than labouring around on some piece of crud.
fella's..................commuters rock!
i find them just as, and in some cases more interesting than posh bikes.

[i]here have a look at a random strangers pompino[/i]
just thought it was worth repeating 🙂
🙂
I would disagree about spending more on the commute, as you wear parts out so quickly. Expensive race weight parts cost more and wear out quicker. Training/commuting bike has the cheap bits, saving the nice parts of the special ride.

Expensive doesn't have to mean race weight - think gear hubs, titanium frame etc....
Easily unfortunately 🙁
Although I try not to look at it as commuting, just as a road ride with panniers. 6 miles into work, 12-18 on the way back, repeat that ~5times a week 3 weeks out of 4.
Compared to MTBing where I'm luck to ride 25 miles a week on a Saturday, or if I've not commuted I might get in 20miles in an evening, but 7 of that is the road to/from Swinley.
BUT your going to be wearing it out double quick time, brakes, wheels, tyres, drivechain
Disc brakes on the road - I think my pads will outlast the rest of the bike at the current rate.
Wheels, still going strong. Pro 2 front, Alfine rear. Strong and smooth. Tyres got loads of life in them still. Seriously, hardly look used.
drivretrain? Still on first chain, had a bath at the weekend, it's still shiny and good. A little worn in (from looking at the chainring) but will last another year.
9 months in, 100 miles a week in all weathers.

I really need to take a glory photo of this... when it's light again 🙁
can't be bothered taking a picture, but my commuter, a 2008 Kona Jake the Snake with mudguards, a rear rack and pink grip tape does 30 miles a day between Bradford and Leeds and is my most ridden bike by a long way, especially sonic I haven't ridden MTB for months!
is it just me, or do people have their drops and STI's setup at some odd angles??

almost everyday = 10 miles to train station, 1 mile to office, various miles to appointments.
Kona Sutra -full mud guards, front and rear racks, etc. etc. Full set of panniers, front, back, top rack allows me take all I needwhere ever I need. Love it !
