Every other month, for the last good few years, there has been some
contests or other reported where bike, public transport and car are
pitted against each other for a commute; invariably the bike wins...


...over the last, inner-city, bit of the journey.

Where the journey is posited and measured so as to be representative
of normality is something that is never measured - for some reason.
Probably partly to do with the need for headlines, even if they are
deceiving headlines.

It might have become "normal" for some people to commute daft distances;
that's another part of the problem.
