How 'bout building up a "sleeper"?
Find a decentish old mtb hardtail…It will have strong wheels for hopping curbs and the setup will feel like home - you won't change your neuro-muscular adaptations.
Toss some slicks on, yer favourite gear ratio or shifting setup, and wheelie your way to work. If you get a wider slick for the back it will have enough rubber for literally thousands of sweet skidz.

Bike shops would be stoked to help with this, plus any bike shop will have a pile of outdated but high quality parts that would be perfect for this kind of thing.
