Anyone else got a bike just to commute?

Due to the traffic getting into & out of work every day, and how it ruins my car's fuel economy, I'm thinking of the possibility of learning & getting a bike to commute (initially, it may well turn into a toy as well given time!).

I was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation, and could give me their opinion on if it turned out to be a good idea or not. Chances are, if I did do this, I would use my bike very little during the winter, but I guess it's hard to tell at the moment!

My commute is ~10 miles each way, but due to traffic it usually takes over 30 mins. If I was to do this, what sort of costs would I be looking at to get started (I haven't even done my CBT yet)?
