Hybrid Commuting

I have a predicament... We moved where there is great cycling BUT it is 25 miles from work. I am filling up 2x a week which is a financial pain, bad for the environment and putting a lot of miles on my car. I am considering the ultimate in multi-method commuting. Drive to the bus pick up (6 miles), ride bus, ride bike from bus let off to work (2-3 miles).
I can't ride to the bus center because there is no safe route. Would a mountain bike be an easy enough ride for 2-3 miles. It would be bike lanes on busy roads. I go in at 7:00 in the morning so I will be fortunate to miss much traffic but need lights.
Here's what I need to know:
1. Good lights
2. How to stay unsweaty (no showers at work)
3. Good lock, no rack at work. Although I have a big enough cubicle to put my bike.
