Well, my primary choice is cycling, of course, but on the very infrequent occasions when I need to take public transport, usually a bus (I haven't used the Underground for about ten years, I think), I find it un-smelly, not very crowded, clean, and reliable. But this is because I usually travel to and from the train station at odd hours and definitely never in the peak hour. What I find really challenging is using public transport routinely. That's definitely when the lack of capacity of public transport is revealed, and the over-centralisation of London becomes apparent as a real problem.
Agree completely about cycling. :)
