My son, to my eternal shame , when I ask him if he fancies a ride out on the bikes his choice of route and distance, will tell me he's not fit enough, I'll tell him that if he cycles he will get fitter, to which he replies that when he is fitter he will come for a ride, to which I reply......I think you get the idea
