Absolutely. The mode has some viability, but it is quite limited in
several different ways. For those for whom any of those limitations are
not practical or otherwise acceptable, the whole mode is non-viable.

Walking has the same sorts of limitations.

But even motorists walk sometimes. Some people even do it for fun.

Hardly a valid comparison. Unless you're in a wheelchair you have no
option
but to walk in certain situations.

That sounds like you'd rather drive *everywhere* rather than walk or do
anything else, even if it was perfectly feasible to do so?

How would you get to that newsagents which is half a mile down the road;
walk, ride, or drive?

I used to drive half a mile to the village for my newspaper every mornig,
but I desperately need some exersize, my duaghter who is much more clever
than me, suggested I wlked, so I strted doing that, it does take a bit more
than 20 minutes, but I do feel better for it!

But if it were raining I would go back to the car!

Actually, most of the time I would drive too. But I do at least get the bike
out and dust it down every so often, especially when someone has borrowed
the car.

Our local Asda is only 1km away. I would never occur to use the car for
getting anything trivial.

But if it were raining I would go back to the car!

A few years ago I was on vacation in some exotic location and one day I
overheard somebody say that they couldn't go swimming because it was
raining.

....Is there some biological hazard with rain I should be made aware of?

Oh dear, You really are a ****ing idiot.

Clue. I don't claim to have qualifications higher than the BMA.

The Keller idiot claims he does.

Got that? or was it too complicated?

Judging by his posts here he might just be bright enough to sweep the
streets.

So - I think thats total bollox. Not surprising coming from a proven
**** like you.

I'd rather doubt that. IME people in the medical profession have few
practical skills - assuming the Keller idiot is in the medical profession.

Second only to those in IT - who have the practical skills of a retarded
gerbil.

I could be wrong here but I don't recall seeing a bike in Netherlands

evidence of brakes that were there once but have fallen off or apart).
Do we have any evidence that it is legal to sell a bike with only a
coater brake in .nl? I am pretty confident it's not legal in .fr or .de.

The CTC has a useful page on the legal construction of bikes.

But then they are a bunch of rabid cyclist idiots - well known for
bending the truth to support their weirdo cycling cause.

I'm very pleased your 'duaghter' suggested you 'wlked' to get some
'exersize' and that you 'strted' doing so.

Perhaps she should suggest you use a ****ing spell checker?
