I used to commute an hour each way, but we moved and I'm now back to 25 minutes door to door. There's nothing better than getting time back in your day.
When I was commuting I witnessed on at least two occasions people exercising in traffic. Literally one hand on the wheel, one hand holding a small weight. The bike sounds much safer, but I definitely agree that exercise is key to feeling energized.
My advice is either change jobs or move home, that commute isn't sustainable, you will end up ruining your health, relationships and work.
