Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That’s the problem. The three or four people I am thinking of actually have decent fitness but no souplesse.

This was specifically for refunds if you decide not to go. I'm not sure why this is confusing.

That might be a factor.

I have suggested that the offenders should be forced to learn to ride rollers. No way a wobbler can do that, and learning to ride rollers pretty much forces you to have a smooth pedaling/ride style.

But no one rides rollers anymore. They are going the way of the stick-shift.

Your contention, that you can get the money back simply because you decide not to go, is dubious. See Exhibit A (covered reasons).
