Does that mean I can't get to Heathrow Airport on the Elizabeth Line on Sunday?

even cycling in London is hardly arduous, even with injuries (ofc depends what those injuries are) - it's mainly flat to very minor inclines and the Santander bikes have very low gearing. Toughest part of the route I used to do regularly was the Col de Blackfriars (basically over BLackfriars Bridge)

Great for 10-15 minute hops where you can get a couple of miles that takes best part of an hour to do on foot.

Not sure which Sunday you're talking about!

In any case, Elizabeth Line appears unaffected by strikes but it's worth it to keep checking on www.tfl.gov.uk - esp because a lot of maintenance happens on Sundays anyway.

The river bus routes are bit limited and helicopter parking can be a right pain in the bum.

Try hitchhiking? Londoners are a lovely friendly bunch and will always help out a stranger trying to get around

Any bus route is a 'bit limited'!

You can use your oyster card on the river bus btw. And it is fast thanks to the lack of congestion, traffic lights, etc

Buses probably really busy due to tube strikes I'm thinking

Where are you needing to go? How far and what time do you need to be at places? Private taxi hire for the day? Buses no doubt run by where you need to go...

If the tubes aren’t running then buses tend to be rammed, roads jammed and hire bikes scarce.

Elizabeth line and a bit of walking is probably your best bet. Have a look at where you want to go and see if you can make that work.
