Could you not have gone to a garden centre in the same country?

of all types inc.
motorcycles by the dozen, except for bicycles, I only saw 4 in a 30 mile
round trip, and one of those was on a cycle path with lights working and
helmet on, so he doesn't count.

Anyway, why the dearth of bicycles on such a lovely sunny breezy day?

As they are rich and don't have the expenses of a car, they can afford more
time off work.

If it was so nice outside why did you stay inside?


because it was the only viable transport option.
