I wouldn't go anywhere near as far as the poster you were replying to,


I would. Once you've cycled around central London, you'd never use any form
of public transport again. King's Cross Suburban station to Aldwych, 8
mins - literally door-to-door.

That's fine and something I've considered for myself (alas, in my case
I'm slightly too far for my liking). The thing is, we aren't talking
about central London transport in this case.
