Spinner, Grinder, Honker, or other

Parrot of Toledo,

By amazing coincidence, my nickname also refers to my similarities with the great Bahamontes, being known as "The Bustard of Buxton". At least that's what I thought they were saying.

Can do all 3, sometimes selectively engaging a poker face

I float up hills, so I think that makes me a floater

Honker when feeling strong or at the beginning and a spinner when knackered, I suppose I grind a bit in the transition.

I soar up hills, so I guess I'm a Sora.

I'll get my coat.

Strategically planned routes that avoid all but an occasional speed bump. Enjoys telling folks they extend their commute for fitness however could easily get home in half the time if they honked......

Now that does describe me quite well.

Excellent, a new category for the poll, Cheatr! I'd forgotten ebikes.

Once, when fully loaded (bike with gear weighed 6½ stone) on a long but not especially steep incline and me being very depleted due to overstretching my limits, I didn't have the energy to keep going in bottom gear (20") and I didn't have the energy to get off and push. I ended up straddling the top tube, feet on the ground and shuffling up the hill. The brakes came in handy when I needed to stop for a breather.
