Others say that I'll be too tired and sweaty to commute to work and have energy to continue my day, even though I run between twenty to thirty minutes a day right before work. So maintaining my energy has never really been a problem, as long as I grab a power/clif bar.
I say go for the bike, I cycle to work in NYC all year round and no way are the winter weather conditions any worse than anything you will get in Orlando.

Not only will you save money (gas , car insurance etc) but you will find your cardio improves giving you more energy for your day.

Just be safe out there
