Do you shower after riding to work? I hope so.

After riding for 8 minutes at an easy pace that is if anything down hill? God no. I don't sweat a drop unless I screw up and over dress. That's what emergency desk drawer deodorant is for
I don't ride in my work pants in the warm months though, I ride in shorts. I also don't lock up my bike. There is a room 30 feet from the loading dock entrance that takes me ~30 seconds to enter the code and put my bike inside. It's right beside the elevator. I will give you that it takes 2 minutes to change from shorts to pants and to put on my work shoes.
The biggest PITA biking in winter is that it adds 5-10 minutes to my commute because of the extra dressing/undressing on either end. When you are throwing on ski goggles, a face tube, 2 pairs of gloves, 2 jackets etc you're easily adds 5 minutes of lead time on either side.
I know tons of people that love to hang out on the train and surf/read/watch shows. I don't really mind the train myself if I get a seat. The times I work now I got pretty tired of trying to cram on them, there is no way to read or surf comfortably when your face is in someone's pit. The morning was always fine, coming home from work SUCKED. Often it would take 10 minutes for the train to get out of downtown, let alone to my stop (when I lived in the NW).
And reading/texting while walking doesn't really work. I always end up walking at about half speed. Much easier on a train.
