I live right out near Maidenhead. I sling my bike on the train and either end up (30-50 mins later, £11 lighter) in Paddington or Marylebone.
Today I came in just to deliver a helmet to Kris (East End Images -nice to meet you mate), get some beans from Monmouth Coffee in Borough Market, and pick up/drop off a portfolio.
I could have mailed the helmet, I could have bought the coffee on the net, I could have had a courier pick up and redeliver the folio. But screw that. Any excuse to cycle round town, even if it was drizzling when I left home.
I do this often, if I have the time and the flimsiest of excuse.
