Skip the train. Park and ride, as in - drive to a parking lot and bike the rest of the way so as to make the bike leg manageable. I would also watch some YT's on urban cycling to help get used to riding in traffic, its easy once you figure out the tips and tricks and get over your fear of riding with a lot of cars around.
I used to lighten the load and would bring in clothing and shoes on a rainy day to leave at work, when I wasn't biking, this way I wasn't carrying a load and could use a lighter road bike. All I needed was lunch (on the morning leg) keys, wallet and phone.
