What do you use your bike for and what features do you look for to meet that purpose? (sh.itjust.works)

I use my bike mainly as a very utilitarian means of transportation within my city and its surroundings. The most important features for me are:

Swept-back handlebars (I prefer an upright riding position to better see my surroundings)
Racks, panniers, and bungie cords to carry things
Two locks, a u-lock and a chain lock
Lights and a hi-viz vest for riding after dark
