How long would it take you to cycle the 34 miles (each way) that my last
commute was?

20 mins.

68 miles in 20 minutes?


He must live on the Wirral where all journies take 20 mins.


"journies"?


It's my experience that when a poster has nothing better to contribute other than pointing out a typo they are of very limited intelligence. But we have to take into account you are from Liverpool and were Born to Smell.

Where did anyone say you would need to commute by bicycle?

Rewind... in what sense were you using the phrase "personal transport"?

Come to that, in what sense were you using the word "transport",
unencumbered by any other limiting word?

I'm assuming you know, which of course, may not be a safe assumption.


Just answer the question.

If one cannot travel by car, what other way would there be of travelling
a distance like thirty-four miles each way? Walking? Pushing along one
of those trendy little scooters?

*Think hard* before you try to answer the question. Your first "thought"
(so to speak) may be somewhat off-track.

Your experience, rather like your command of English, is rather limited.

"Journies" isn't a typo - it is just a clear mark of ignorance.

A typo for the word might have a missing or mid-keyed letter (we all do
those, by the way).

You simply didn't know that the word does not change its form for its
plural, other than by the addition of an 'ess'.

But we have to take into account you are from Liverpool and were Born to Smell.


Have you always been an idiot or did your idiocy so remarkably develop
over time?

You certainly *do* have problems with English.

Or with comprehension and logic. Or with all of them.

The sentence fragment...

"...cars were a mid-20th century mistake when it comes to personal
transport and bicycles are the future"

....cannot be taken (by a normal person with an acceptable command of our
language) to mean anything other than that all road journeys (or
"journies") must or should be made by bicycle.

Did you forget writing and posting it?
