I kept a rough log for the Wilier I bought on the scheme and made a point of trying to stick by the "majority usage" rule (I'm that type of person).
The vast majority of rides (by number) over the 12 months were definitely commuting.
By hours (or distance) is was a lot closer to 50:50 between commuting and leisure. I was using it for 100km+ of commuting a week during the nice weather but then it saw regular blats around Richmond Park, Surrey Hills, etc. Don't think it saw any Audaxes until it had all been paid off (but it has done a 400km and a 600km Audax since then).
I've not used it for commuting since that first year was over, that's coming up 5 years ago.
