I commuted on my Hillborne virtually every day I worked after I got it in Feb 2010. I did mixed mode, bike/transit commuting for about 3 months before taking a job closer to home when my bike-only commute was about 9 miles RT. Rain or shine, because if you let rain keep you off the bike in Seattle the riding season can be damned short. I expect my Hunqapillar will also be equal to the task. Fenders, hub dynamo, a decent rain jacket... it's not so bad in a deluge and quite pleasant in the type of rain we usually get here, the type my grandfather used to call "the kind of rain you can work in all day and not get wet". My Riv is my only ready-to-ride bike, but it's ready to ride anywhere, anytime, any weather.
