That's what a change of clothes are for and honestly in the north east at 7 or 9 am the weather is still relatively cool.
Locking isn't an issue either. Bring the bike inside or lock it up against a light pole. Problem solved.
I'm still going to be a green commie on this one. If it's short enough then bike or walk do it . It's incredibly healthy. If buying a bike is an issue, they have great 5 speed bikes on sale at Kmart for 100$

You're also sweating at your desk right now.
I biked all of this summer to work and I started out of shape. You don't start sweating to the point of a sticky mess until you are exhausted. If that's the case you should probably build some stamina up at a gym.
If you jump on a bike first thing in the morning you will also be rested and not sweat. The ride back home is a different matter, especially in the heat of the afternoon. If it's 5 then never mind, but I had to ride back at 3pm which was an adventure let me tell you!
