Thanks for the advice
Try riding before dinner? Given that it is July, here it is daylight out until ~830pm. If you work till 6, get home at 630.... there's two hours of daylight left!!!
How much gridlock do you have to ride through? Maybe you can find some routes that have low traffic to get in some miles? Even if you just get out and get an hour on the bike in the evening, that's all it takes. And some weekend days.
Good luck!
