Cycling is an interesting one as most avid cyclists want to live somewhere around a 30 to 45 minute cycle ride away from wherever they work. They appreciate that it's easiest to get fit and stay fit when a commute is built-in to the daily cycle of things. So they are enthusiastic about that not being a convenient place by public transport or car. Basically they can get really good value accommodation as not being near a train station has no impact on their ability to access an area. Most cyclists I know (a lot of them) have congregated in the South East of London purely because of these factors.
