Lol.
To OP, using sheldon's gear inch calculator found here:

and assuming you have 700x25 tires and 170mm cranks, you're running 69.2 gear inches. That is awfully low for commuting. I suggest going up on the gear inch and train your legs, then going back down to something more comfortable when your legs become stronger.
