What type of bike do you commute to work on

I don't care if it's stolen. If it breaks, I'll buy a second for spare parts, or throw it out. My commute is about a ten mile round trip. Anything longer, I don't know if I'd use it.

I used to ride my real bikes to work... a Jamis Coda, or my Specialized Hardrock, but commuting around here is too hard on a good bike, especially in winter. Each rim on my good bikes cost twice as much as the complete Supercycle! It only makes sense to ride the junker.

I do a 19 mile round trip, all year round here in Ireland, so does not get really cold, but get a lot of different types of weather.
