You are lucky, and possibly unusual. I am sweaty after five minutes, in any temperature. I
have to wash (not necessarily shower) and get into clean, dry clothes after my 20 minute high-effort commute.
So yes, the rigmarole takes as long as the actual ride, but I don't care. I don't cycle-commute to save time.
