#4This is a classic application of isochrone maps [1].
I used this Python code [2] to figure out where to live that had a reasonable commute.
However, these do not account for traffic conditions. The paid Google Maps API provides that information however and it is easily incorporated into the code.

#6Starting near London right clicking the map it then restricted to "France Only" (which I couldn't seem to change) and with 2 hours on a bike the result was a blob somewhere in the English Channel.
Interesting concept though!

#7This would be super-useful if it could do smaller scales (e.g. 10 minutes walk)

It looks like bike and train are just supported in France

#9OpenRouteService[0] also offers this functionality, and it lets you customize the hell out of it too.
