I think a key factor is what the commute time is vs other methods
I used to commute 16 miles (each way) to work. It took me about an hour by bike, but it was only 35 minutes by car or less by motorbike. Still quicker than the train though! I commuted by bike once a week.
I now commute about 15k (each way) to work. But I’ve changed direction and now commute into Central London, takes around 40-45 minutes. So driving isn’t an option, commuting by tube takes the same amount of time, same as motorbike (due to one way systems). If I have a meeting offsite or I’m going out in the evening I’ll take my Brompton and might tube it in/home for part of it
So commuting by bike was more hassle in my previous job, in hindsight though I do wish I’d managed it more than once a week. But in my current job it’s a no brainer, doesn’t take any more time than any other method
