I sold my car about a year ago and my bike is the only option. My wife has to take the kids to school in the van so that is not an option. I got about a 22mile roundtrip for my commute and that includes the day and the night job. I find that the ride actually helps when im feeling a little sick but if it's really bad i would just catch the bus. My opinion may not count though because i do live in Hawaii. The weather is never really a problem.
