I don't know how to change a bike tire yet, and I'm worried about being late. I work in 2 hour segments with breaks in between(school bus driver) and I value my time alone at home while my teenagers are in school. It probably only takes me 25 minutes to get to work on a bike. The weather here changes on a dime, and it's hard to figure out how to dress for it. On some days, if it ended up being bad at the end of my work day, I could probably have the husband pick me up. And yet, I've made every excuse in my mind to not do it. I'm pretty creative that way!
beccaB, I would really encourage you to give biking to work a try. When you have some free time try just riding to work to get to know the route you'd be using. Though I'm sure you comfort level depends on how good the roads are where you live (rural or urban).

I know when I started commuting to college and work it made me feel so alive. Night riding can be nerve racking, but its always a good idea to have a light you can see with.
