And usually within 3 miles I'm just as happy on the bike as I am any other time.

If you like riding, you'll probably be fine IF you prepare yourself and your ride to be comfortable and easy. Doing it with ****ty pedals, uncomfortable riding position/poor fit, a heavy wind-sail messenger bag, uncomfortable clothes etc is going to make it suck a little bit/a lot.
