It might cost you more in cash, but time cannot be replaced and it turns a boring, frustrating commute, into an experience and training event!
Do it and enjoy it.
We often flew Lakeland-Orlando, even though the drive only took about an hour. It was just "nicer."
You might even get some others to join you, the biking is good for you and you get to know the people at the airport and they are usually pleasant!
Do it.....you can always take the car if you need to.
