Ahh, it is good to meet someone who moves their bod at work, although I can't recommend the labor market. I guess the cube-square law is working against you on a bicycle seat, but there again, a week or so of acclimatization can help a lot. The real solution for bike seating is a recumbent. Adding a power assist just puts more weight on the seat instead of the pedals. Mopeds are changed to make them more comfortable for coasting, but hell to pedal.

I drove Toyotas for years at an average of $200 per year for parts and depreciation. Now, I'm into the 3 cyl cars, and loving it. You can pull the engine without a hoist, although you need some support during alignment for re-installation. I know a few guys who make money on them.
