Allan, i've spent time down there and it is a pretty area, there are a few routes that are not bike friendly (like US29), but you can find ways around it and downtown is quite small so a bike is really handy.
depending on where work is, that 10 miles can be easy or stressful, the roads are narrow and drivers are hit and miss in terms of how aware they are on the tight roads. as far as bikes, there are quite a few of us in the virginia area, so put out a request if you can't get a bike here yourself. you might get lucky and find a loaner for a few months.
