The commuter bike is a hybrid designed specifically for commuting over short or long distances.
It typically features derailleur gearing, 700C wheels with fairly light 1.125-inch (28 mm) tires,
a carrier rack, full fenders, and a frame with suitable mounting points for attachment of various
load-carrying baskets or panniers. It sometimes, though not always has an enclosed chainguard to allow
a rider to pedal the bike in long pants without entangling them in the chain. A well-equipped commuter
bike typically features front and rear lights for use in the early morning or late evening hours encountered
at the start or end of a business day.
