…and at the moment really can't see the enjoyment.
Commuting is not fun. Doesn't matter what mode you use, something that repetitive for something that you probably don't want to be doing anyway can't be fun. There are things to take your mind off of it but even sitting in the car you are not having fun are you.
My commute is 2.5 miles each way. I either cycle or walk, just to mix things up a bit. I turn up sweaty, I just stay outside for a bit or go and get a cup of coffee from somehwere.
Stick with cycling/walking. You'll get fitter if you do. It should also be a criminal offense to drive that little distance….
