c)I still plan to enjoy the ride for ridings sake on weekends. There are some nice out of town roads here in north central FL that I think would be great for a bike.
The majority of my commuting will be slow, but there are a few roads where people do 45-55 that I will be on for some of the ride, so it's important to me to still have some power. Plus - I love manual trannies, I've driven stick my whole life and it felt natural in the MSF class.

i used to drive scooters. i wore a full face helmet jacket and gloves. dont worry about how you look or what other people think about you. do what you want to do and do it how you want to do it. if you want a bike, get a bike. for your needs a small bike sounds perfect. scooter is going to be cheaper in every imaginable way though. for a student, i would say get a scooter or a bicycle.
