Yes, many commutes from London suburbs to the centre are not easily cyclable but nor are they really drivable either due to congestion and lack of city-centre parking. Although, if you drastically reduce the number of cars on the road, then you would have more space for more direct and safe cycle routes, which would increase the number of cyclable journeys. Reduced congestion might also let you run more busses. But yeah, ultimately the pre-Corona model of London commuting, with basically the entire population of the city going into and out from the centre at the start and end of the day is not going to be feasible anymore, no matter what mix of cars, public transport, walking and cycling you have. But we should still try to achieve a mix than enables the best possible quality of life for everyone.
