Absolutely agree. I did a 7 mile each way cycle commute in London for many many years. Absolutely loved it. Reliable, consistent travel times, and never affected by train/tube strikes. The number of times I was delayed by a puncture or other mechanical was way less than the number of times I was delayed by random public transport problems. I was so much fitter when I was doing it, especially when I built up to doing the occasional commute running. (Cycle in, leave extra clothes at work, run home, run in the next day, cycle home.) I miss it now that I WFH. I know I can just go out and do a similar type of ride but it's just too easy not to. It was much easier to set off to work in the rain by bike as I knew I had to get there and going by train/tube was even more miserable.
