My job leaves me physically drained to the point where I don't think I'd be able to make it home consistently on a bike. Purchasing an electric bike is out of the question due to the low pay of the job, and paying for things I do not want nor need. (taxes, health insurance).

I will, of course, accept donations of working or cheaply repaired electric bicycles.
