    Actually, in February I spent 22 hours on my mountain bike - I know you don’t care snd perhaps not a big deal but it’s a recent achievement in quite proud of.

    Regardless, my comments are not about fitness. Young single people tend to have less commitments.

    My partner and I have newborn twins. The only transport options are pram and car. We do have a bike trailer for them but it’s not really safe until they’re 1.

    The same situation applies if you’re caring for an elderly parent. Which I am.

    The way you assume it’s about fitness is kind of a “case in point” to be honest - you’re incapable of considering that others have different transport needs.

        I live in regional Australia. There are no passenger trains within about 5 hours drive.

        The city I live in has about 50,000 people. I’m not in the middle of nowhere.

        My parents do live in the middle of nowhere though, about an 150km from the nearest grocery store.

        My circumstances aren’t that unusual really.
