Patrick - Although my normal commute is via a Rivendell (Hunq or Bleriot), I'll often take one of my road bikes ('73 Pugeot PX-10 or Moots) and they work fine. Couple of caveats, though: a) I load my clothes and other items in a backpack, not in a pannier; b) My route is entirely on pavement; and c) I typically won't bike if there's to be a heavy rain or other weather-inspired unpleasantness. My commute is 30 miles each way, and I keep it up year round except when there's ice. It's a lot of fun to commute with a light and fast road bike, although I might think twice before loading one down with panniers, as it'll affect the handling, and probably not for the better. Kevin
