How do you know the bicycles are fully functional?

What if the person just wanted to get off the bicycle and have a bit of a stretch and change positions?

Perhaps the person is walking off a cramp.

Maybe the person is suffering digestive issues and it is easier to throw up in the ditch from a walking position than from the saddle of a bicycle.

And as I said, sometimes walking is the fastest and/or easiest and/or most convenient way to get where you're going. I've been in that situation many times.



You see ... I have walked my bicycle more times than I can count for a variety of reasons, and I suppose to someone who didn't have any idea what was going on, maybe that person might wonder why I was walking rather than riding. But there was always a good reason.
