everyone there is really nice and helpful. this specific thread will give you an idea of what people actually use for commuting http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/49471-Commuter-Bicycle-Pics/page436
go ahead and start a new thread there with the same questions... there are a lot of UK/Euro posters there as well who are often well ahead of the curve of trends (like the above poster with his drop bar single speed disc commuter).
That's interesting.
My last (very cheap) bike had drop bars and I was either my neck was sore or I was living in fear that without my fingers right by the brakes I wouldn't reach them in time if I ever needed - and people will just dart out into the street...

When you say a more upright seating position - is that something you can change on nearly any bike or would you look specifically for a bike with that sort of position?
