Excellent and well done! I hope circumstances allow
you to keep it up for as long as you want.

Yeah, cycle commuting has a lot going for it.
I get to hear lots of folks making it a high
falootin' socio/political/environmental thing.
But the personal sense of satisfaction,
accomplishment and empowerment beats any smug
feelings about not buying gasoline or emitting
pollutants or potentially endangering other people's
lives & limbs with 1.5+ tons of rolling mass.
Nevertheless, those are pretty good fringe benefits.
But I'm glad you've established a tactic for
experiencing the plain joy of riding.
Maybe you'll inspire some of your co-workers
to try it.
cheers,
Tom
