Maybe Davenport has better weather in the winter. Not cycling weather.
I normally don't get on my bike for less than 20 mi. Get a shower put in & make a 20 mi route ending at work. You can do it in the name of keeping medical premiums (theirs) and claims (yours) down. Only 2 caveats: keep the rubber side down & don't bounce off of a car.
