Torn over workout arrangements

Hey all! So I've completed the first week of Insanity, and, although I didn't love DOING the actual workouts (just because I dislike working out at home - would rather have active hobbies), I did like the results and how I felt afterwards. I like that I'm feeling stronger and healthier overall, and that, coupled with eating better, I've lost weight and inches already. I just began week 2 of the workouts and then my schedule changed (overnight) and it looks like I'll be riding my bicycle to/from work (about 12 miles roundtrip) several days a week. I'm torn between the options:

*Do I follow through with the full Insanity commitment, even after a long day of working and riding?
*Do I instead accept the daily workout of commuting a few miles a day and skip Insanity?
*Or should I do Insanity workouts in on days I don't ride? It'll take longer to complete the full schedule, obviously, but I would at least have completed it and gotten the benefits in addition to bike training.

I know it's my decision, but I would like other people's thoughts! Thanks!

    Do insanity workouts on the days you don't ride. You can try to double up once or twice a week and see how it feels. It's ok if it takes you longer to get through the program. What matters is YOUR total workout plan!

    ^ Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, too. Thanks for the reinforcement!
