Cycling is often referred to around here as "the new golf"....as many deals and contacts are made while cruising in a 25+mph pacelines on local club rides.

What bothers me most about these surveys, is that they do not account for multiple travel options. I generally bike commute ~85 days a year. But, I take the subway far more often. So, in response to a survey, I would honestly say that the subway is my "primary" mode of commuting. However, most folks around my work think of me as this hard core bike commuter type. (HA!) So surveys, I think, tend to underestimate bike commuting, because they do not account for intermittent bike commuters.
