Hmm...I'm guessing you're either a) not counting parking in your commute time, b) Not factoring in the cost of parking in one of the many extremely expensive garages downtown or c) someone else was paying for your parking.
As for the reverse commute: I do! I take the train from West Medford to Woburn every day and bike to work from the train station. I love this train because it is hardly ever late and it runs every hour for the entire day.
The same train also goes all the way to Lowell and the trip from there to Chelmsford Center would be a relatively short 4 mile bike ride along route 110/Chelmsford Street.
Of course, prior to the mid 1930s you could have hopped an Old Colony train directly from Lowell to Chelmsford Center, but that was discontinued almost immediately after our New Deal-era spending spree on road paving projects.
