After i get my bike ill post it here to let you know how it goes.
I don't know your situation, but my guess is that a bike rack for the shared car would do a lot. Mrs. Strawbunyan could drop you off or pick you up on her way to other things, and you could bike the rest. That also suggests getting a bike that you are comfortable doing more miles on, as well as asking Mrs. Strawbunyan if she would like her own bike.
