One of life's changes has put me in a better paying job just outside what my current badassity level allows me to bicycle commute. Rather than become a car clown I'm going to try an electric bike. If anyone is interested in doing the same and wants to use this link, you will get a free helmet to go with your new lazy person bicycle. (full disclosure: I get a referral bonus too)
http://fbuy.me/c8cU_This company seemed to me like the best balance of simplicity and features. It's plenty fast for what I need and looks more like a normal bike. Not as badass as a straight bicycle, but nowhere near car prices either.
Cheers
