Looking at maybe picking up a 2nd hand road bike off trade me for a few hundy or so as I only live 6.5km from work, could do with saving some $$ but really it's cause im a fat bitch and could do with losing a kilo (or ten). I dont know anything about push bikes as in what i should be looking for, what size of bike, etc? Would really appreciate any advice and even better a link on TM to look at? As I really have no idea what Im looking for... Chur!

Take up mountain biking. Road biking is way too dangerous in my opinion, NZ drivers are out there waiting to smash into with much glee.
If you want advice on a mountain bike, I can help!
Talk shit. Get hit
Might as well give up motorcycling then too ay. This could be the stupidest thing I have ever read on KB

Can you ride a mountain bike on the road? road bikes with the lean forward position look ghey? Its not far to work, youre right though. I have early starts though so not much traffic and thought i might get one of those flashy lights and i might wear high vis.... for once.

There's more pedaling than pushing.
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

I reckon push bikes must be way scarier than motorcycles? i wont have the power or speed to keep up with traffic and will be less visible on the road.

You can put slick tyres on a MTB which will make the job a lot easier. But plenty of people commute to work on chunky off road tyres. They just have to pedal a bit harder.
I say find a cheap one on trademe. Give it a test ride, make sure brakes and gears work, and then you are away sailing (pedaling). 6.8km isn't far at all so even a piece of shit will get you there no worries.

So you want a bike that makes you look cool....?
Go into a bike store and have a look to figure out what you want and either buy it from them or look for similar secondhand.
Just to get to work though you should be able to pick something up for $100-200 that will do the trick.

Good advice, sounds like a plan. How much do tyres for a bike sting you? The easier it is to pedal, the better, my ride will start with a reasonably sized hill, might have to walk up it initially since im such a weak fatty.

Tyres are fairly cheap. $20 - $80 each.
Something like this might do

Trouble with commuting is that you ride in all the rubbish on the side of the road so you need to be careful of punctures.
The only way to get good at riding up hills is to ride up hills!

Im thinking that might be a tad OTT
