I bought my Jamis Coda for commuting several years ago, but I was only commuting at the time. I bought a road bike later for longer rides, but I rarely used it for commuting. My tri-state commute took me through Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia, 14 miles each way, with a mix of horrible pot-holed urban gritty streets and smooth MUPs. My Jamis took it all with grace, style, and elegance, although I was much less so in my hi-viz yellow and orange triangles!

EDIT: My office has an indoor bike rack in the lobby, which was fantastic. I work from home now, so I no longer commute, but I do use the Jamis for errands and exploring-the-city rides
