Yeah I'd go with putting your bike on your wife's car... then when the 5 miles gets boring get her to drop you off progressively further away on the way in. You can then do the one way or decide at the end of the day how bagged you are if you want to ride home or ride to your wife's work. (if it all works out timing wise..)
