Isn't Harry the Saintly Milkman a cyclist? Before he moved in with Jazzer, he used to cycle over to Ambridge from Borchester to do his milk round.
I may be behind the times - I gave up listening to the Archers shortly after the demise of Nigel Pargeter, though I still hear it accidentally now and again and I knew about Wiggo the Cow. The recent storyline involving Lilian's odious son, Robert Snell's odious daughter, the odious Lilian and the odious Matt's odious half-brother is cringeworthy even by Archers standards.
On a tangential note, I've been reading EF Benson's brilliantly funny Mapp & Lucia books lately. My wife made the astute observation that Lynda Snell is clearly based on Lucia. When you realise this, it becomes painfully obvious.
