I agree with Bob and Sweat above. The problem with short hops, aside from mechanical issues, is that they're unsatisfying. I ride for the pleasure it gives, and the relaxation and escape it provides. That's why I ride generally on the weekends when I can take long rides, relatively free of crazed traffic.

Just an aside---There's a guy I ride with who only wants to do short rides for coffee. This guy spends more time with the coffee than he does on the bike. I find it frustrating to ride with him, so I'll just leave him after a quick coffee or not ride with him at all.

I guess my point is short rides defeat the purpose for me.
