You've gotten lots of suggestions here, but you really didn't want them, you just wanted some shoulders to cry on and tell you it's OK. It is OK, but that don't mean I ain't gonna tell you what I think. If you want only yes-man answers, please let us know in the subject line.
Ha, I don't say it but most of the time I don't agree with chipcom. Infact i have his icon image blocked in Opera

... but this time I agree... it seems the OP doesn't want to overcome the obstacles... just tell a bunch of people who are interested in bike commuting on a bike commuting forum how he wont' be bike commuting.
Attention get!
I posted a bunch of suggestions for your next attempt... that wasn't good enough... it's cool though. You do what you want. No one here gives a damn if you don't bike commute. You need to go to the
A&S forum for that kind of attention
