I bicycle commuted year-around in Minnesota; 4 miles round trip. I think another mile or two would have been basically the same. Even if winter is too much, you can knock nine or so months of driving commuting out. Don't think about it; just hop on a bike and DO IT. If you aren't conditioned it may seem unpleasant, but attack it like any exercise and keep at it- determine to prevail! Think of all the benefits: you'll save what- $8/day? You won't send those dollars to overseas oil concerns. No emissions. You can eat more then burn it off. Etc.
Make sure your bike is in top shape. Nothing makes one want to give up on cycling before they even start, than trying to ride one with half-flat tires, non-functional shifters and brakes, ill-fitted seat and controls, etc.
