I'm the exact opposite, I love having a 5k bike ride as my commute. It helps clear my head and it keeps me healthy. During COVID I even rented my own office away from my home just to have an excuse for a daily ride.
You could've just gone for a morning and evening cycle. When I started working from home I went for a walk before and after, it initially helped me maintain the mental work/life balance.
I'm extremely lazy, the commute "forced" me to do some exercise and I promptly stopped when the WFH lock downs started.
