I think mine would have to be train. What better way to see our beautiful country.

I hate wasting time and there are still things I can do whilst travelling by rail.

It's a shame we don't have those cute little compartments anymore. They were even more fun.

Anything on the water would be great.

...and I've always wanted to get a little two-wheel scooter to zip round on....maybe, one day...before I require the four-wheeler, hopefully.

I was brought up around boats but unless it's warm I quite like a bit of comfort on my travels.

Oh and the times I nearly bought a sporty motorbike too. I had a little one in my teens. I can recommend it! motorcycle

Ha ha. My Ex husband had all those big bikes and still does. Everyone seems too frightened to go pillion but I found it addictive.

I truly miss the bikes more than I miss him but I have to admit he did look the business!!!wink

I walk or take the bus on short journeys.

I must resurrect the bicycle though uh oh

I don't like flying, but I like where it can take me! cheering

Boats make me feel ill barf


I had a scooter before I got a car, and that was good fun. But not so much in the cold and rainblues

I find a car the most convenient way of getting from A to B overall though.

Hi Rain! wave


Bikes are great. But the city I live in is very hilly, so the mood goes out of me for cycling when I think of them!

I have a friend who has converted one of his cycles to electric. It works well and can reach 25mph, the whole kit cost less that £200.

He will build one for you if you like. Otherwise, the components are available online. The motor is a hub that fits into the rear wheel, around £99 depending on the power. The batteries around £30 each, you'll need two, and the control system around £25.
The bike he converted runs on a 1kw motor, but that technically should be classed as a road vehicle and should be subject to vehicle regulations. But if you stay below 250W, there are no restrictions, but of course the max speed would be much lower.

If you can't tell from my photos,
I just love my big touring Harley.
I've had big bikes (and leather, hint hint) for many, many years.
Even rode a Harley while stationed in Germany long ago.
Toured all over Europe and later all over here in USA.
Trying to figure out where I want to ride when I retire...
'Cuz ride I will.

It's easy to understand how you feel. These bikes get under your skin.

I like to be independent and just go where and when I want to go. Public transport isn't great to get anywhere locally, so it's car for me. conversing
