Whilst I dont agree with Wiltshire Bikers figures I do agree with what he's saying.

Ignoring extremes I do struggle to see how it actually saves money commuting on a bike unless you have a particularly cheap bike to run, it saves huge amounts on parking, or your car is expensive to run.

My commute is on foot which is cheaper than the bike and car.

As for riding the bike its my hobby and I can do it when I want to. I actually quite enjoy wrapping up and going out all weathers but I wouldnt feel the same if I had to commute on it for sure.
