I am sure the above question has been asked many times, but I am sure there are many varied answers.
I only have a two mile commute one way, so it almost seems pointless to drive. I feel better when I get to work and love not paying for gas. I also enjoy incorporating exercise into something that must be done (getting to work everyday).
So, why do you commute?
It's great that you're cycling, but two miles will soon start to seem pretty short, so if you are doing it partly for exercise, be sure to "take the long way home", and get some extra miles in. Also, think about walking to work once in a while. A two mile walk each way would be a huge health boost.
