I would steer you away from the original 3-speed Amsterdam. I've gotten more attached to mine as time goes by (It's used solely to carry my daughter around the neighborhood), but it's still not suited to the commute. The front lighting system is a total POS, and the rack is not sturdy - amongst other things.

I might consider the new Sport 9 or Balloon 8, though they're considerably different and don't have all the features you're looking for.
