>> Of all the mimsing forms of transport A BIKE
Heh heh... and being extra heavy and low-geared these are particularly mimsing (there are more and more car-beating cyclists in London, but they wear speedos and ride tall racing bikes).
But don't throw the bits of your fan club card away just yet. I very much doubt that I will get round to it.
Mind you, my walk isn't as brisk as it used to be either. I used to overtake everyone on foot, now more than half of them overtake me. Sometimes I catch myself toddling like someone on the wrong side of middle age. But at least I can usually manage a couple of miles without excessive discomfort. Heard to my horror yesterday or so that a publican of my acquaintance, a most amusing Irishman probably five years or more younger than I am, can't walk 200 yards without getting agonising cramps and leg pains. He's got to have his arteries chopped around. Chain-smoker of course.
