d wrote: Well if you're not going to ride it why f***ing take it then?? Because you want it in once place, rather than the other. Might be because you can't manage the ~80 miles from Cambridge - or the ~10 miles from Kings X - and want to get the train part of the way. This could be because you cycled from Putney to Cambridge, and are too tired (*tish*) to cycle back again; because you're not that fit; or because you're in a hurry. Use your imagination and empathy, Boltar. -- Mike Bristow |

If he cycles to the station in cambridge then there are plenty of places to leave a bike there. So why take it all the way to london with all the hassle (to other pax as well as him) if he's not going to use it there? Use your imagination and empathy, Boltar. Empathy? Ques que c'est? B2003 |

I merely said they weren't going to use it from Kings X. Perhaps a ride from Kings X to Putney is too far, but a ride from Putney Bridge to Hotham Road isn't. -- Mike Bristow |

I merely said they weren't going to use it from Kings X. Perhaps a ride from Kings X to Putney is too far, but a ride from Putney Bridge to Hotham Road isn't. Precisely. When I worked in London, I usually, especially once FCC and/or TfL added far above inflation rises to the cost of day travelcards, cycled between King's Cross and the office in Westminster. I sometimes stayed in Putney overnight. After a long day at work I sometimes didn't cycle the whole way, only to Vauxhall (nearest Zone 2 station). In the morning I cycled from Putney to Westminster except when my tyre blew up once. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
