I've been doing this for going on five years now - 25 miles each way... little over 16k miles biking to work in this time. I'm in Arizona (very bike friendly) doing this year-round I do get pretty sweaty in the summer. Still, it's nothing that I can't clean up by doing a 'sponge' cleaning in the restroom. I've splurged for a pretty comfortable (and fast) bike - and can do the ride in just over an hour in the morning and about 75 min at night. For compairson the drive is about 40-45 minutes. So I'm not losing much time - the way I figure it I'm actually finding time since I don't need to go to the gym.
I highly encourage good equipment and lighting if you're going to try it.
But it's often the highlight of my week - and just imagine what a better place the world would be if more folks tried it. It's easier than most people think!
Good riding - if I can help just let me know!
