I echo this sentiment. I came from London to Malmo, Sweden. I went from riding 30 minutes in horrible crazy traffic to 6 minutes along a quiet cycle path surrounded by trees.
My commute in London was one of the "Luxury" ones (IE; I was in Zone 2 to the east and commuted to an "eastern central" part of the center.) (if you know London think: Bow -> Shoreditch)
I paid through the nose for this "Luxury" "Central" commute. I can't imagine it being worse than that, but for most people it is.
It's definitely something I have a strong consideration for now. Commuting is basically "unpaid work" time in my mind, it's time I could spend doing other things and I only commute for my work.
