Bikes are also good for economy.
The amount of expensive add-ons I see on the bikers and their bikes suggest to me it's good business. Helmets, clothing, and electronic add-ons are likely adding around £1,000 per annum to the cost of ownership.
Bikes prices are a bit silly though. Expensive bikes (those in the £3,000 range) are ~25% of the price of a new Dacia Sandero.
Bike theft is rampant in London, so the insurance premiums are high, too. It can cost £300 per year.

Cons? Not all offices are equipped with showers.
