I’m super flabulous and gasping-unfit and want to keep to c.60 mins out, b. as a result always avoid them because of a, c as I mostly am commute not aero so have bieks that were heavy in the 1940’s and d. am lucky to live in the Chilterns so not really going to struggle like it’s the Hague to find something upwards at some point.
