I would and do just ride my Homer to work. I wrap the Brooks saddle with a plastic shopping bag in bad weather. In late fall, I squirt some Boeshield in the frame through the seat tube, water bottle bosses and frame vent tubes to help protect against rust. I also give the frame a coat of wax. My parking, while outside has a bit of shelter ( a canopy) so the bike gets some break from the direct onslaught of bad weather. All in all steel bikes are pretty durable. I also clean the chain & drive train every so often. Nothing to crazy on the maintenance/protection front and no issues so far....
