That's really the minor issue. I can deal with a few kids seeing me in lycra. I just need to make myself get up early enough to get to work by about 6:45 so I can grab a quick shower and change. The ride is about 23 miles and takes around 1:15. I usually get up at the time I would need to be leaving. This would probably work for me 1 or 2 days a week. My longer day on Wednesday needs to be a continuous 3-4.5 hour block which is why I get as much done as I can on the road after work and then hop on the trainer to for 1to 2 hours to finish it.
