No it isn't.

That's not an argument, that's just contradiction.

getting off and walking?
Shhh, it's a secret!

Also, the entirety of the route is within the Lime Bike zone. Just sayin'

And only one hill to tackle.
And I know the secret "easy" route up it. Buy me a pint at South-Easts and I'll show it you.

London to Shoreham was a good one IIRC, ended in Brighton of course. State of that place!
Cracking ride! Oliver's "Triple Crown". Shoreham to Brighton via Devil's Dyke and Ditchling Beacon.
Was the Saturday of Pride weekend and Brighton had been thoroughly used and abused, looked positively post apocalyptic as we rolled in. Seem to remember running into a forum face who was using a cash-point somewhere near the pavilion, on his way home from a night out, but that might just be my memory playing tricks.

We did a ride maybe 6 moths or so after that incident where we planned to bypass Gatwick. It started pissing down before we'd even reached Croydon, and, as everyone was soaked and freezing, we decided to end the ride at Gatwick and train it back. While we were hanging around at the back way in, discussing whether we would be allowed in, the police turned up and actually invited us in. They said it was clear what we were up to, and we were welcome to use the facilities.
After a hot drink and a rest, a bunch of us decided that the weather was clearing, and we might as well carry on.
That was the ride with Josh on the travellator that @Chalfie mentioned...

and another occasion where our mere presence was considered a security risk.
Were you on the ride where the police took all our names and addresses, then kicked us out with a 48 hour ban from the airport and vicinity. Even got a blue light escort off the property. They did a PNC check on us and someone flagged up with "drunk in charge of a pedal cycle", not sure about the legality of a policeman announcing that to everyone nearby.

Yes, eating our sarnies on the cliff top staring out into the absolute blackness of the channel, rolling down the hill in Cowes, straight onto the first chain ferry of the day, a 'spoons breakfast (or two in some cases), and sinking pints in the sun outside the King Lud to end it.
Both.
