I just realised the other day that I'm surrounded by hills.
And it was a rhetorical question anyway.

Or "UFO Traps" as the tin-foil milliners like to call them.

You only just realised this?
I'm aware of it when ever I visit.

What are these "hills" of which you speak?
Sounds like FORRIN WITCHCRAFT to me!

I believe you know them as "landlumps"

They rise up from the ground like monsters and block the sun.

*fears*
What do you do for warmth without the sun? Have you developed that new-fangled fire malarky then?

Yes.
It's easier to rub two sticks together or strike sparks from flint if you only have the one opposable thumb on each hand.

Crows with only one opposable thumb on each hand? Sounds like devilry

We rub up against each other and burn hikers.

Also, bicycles have gears
This is not as hipsters would have you believe, to make them crap and slow, it's to make them capable of climbing hills.

I'm not sure now CQ. It all seems like hard work and not the fun I envisaged.

This is true, it can be, but I reckon I could ride your route to work with out much bother
The roads do tend to be along the valley bottoms after all.

I'll think some more about it.

( girlinthehole, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 15:02, Reply)

Up to you of course
and I won't claim it's not hard work too, while you build up muscles and stamina, but it is the nicest way to excersize I have yet found and quite effective, might be worth waiting til summer though.

I have visions of me in a floaty dress cycling along the countryside with the sun shining and the cows mooing.
