Choices, choices….

In fairy tales, the hero may find himself at a junction like this one near Elterwater, having to choose between easy and difficult options.  Only if he chooses the hardest route will he win the princess, or kingdom, or treasure, or a combination of all three.  The cycling prince-hero will have to choose the challenging route to Coniston, ignoring the easy ones.  No doubt he will have to battle a dragon or giant on the way, or outwit a witch who sets riddles, but as a reward, instead of a fairy kingdom he gets to relax in a pub in Coniston afterwards, perhaps by a warm fire.

This is the ancient capitalist's way to trick us hired grunts into working harder. All lies, of course, so I always choose the easy one, esp. where a pub is in vicinity.
