Lived in Fitzrovia for years, and so saw approximately a million couriers doing it. Also, once I started taking cycling a bit more seriously the joy of scraping accumulated road crap off the 15 or so gears I never used around town started to wear off. The final straw was getting a job which required me to park up outdoors in Soho, necessitating the purchase of a cheap bike.
