    My commuter is a hybrid. I would only use a road bike to commute if I had a very long commute.

    Most hybrids are PERFECT for commuting! Which one do you have?

    Agreed--hybrids make excellent commuters! They're less fussy than road bikes and not quite so heavy as mountain bikes.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    +1 for hybrid commuting. I like the more upright position as well, because I need to constantly watch for people trying to kill me.

    +1,000 on this - if you are comfortable on the bike then it is the best choice for you.
