walk you lazy git!
4 miles of walking is quite a lot.

Get a bike, you lazy git!
at a slow pace it would only take 15 minutes to walk.  I'd prefer that then having to get a bike out of the garage/shed and secure it at the other end.  A brisk walk would be better for you also.

I'd avoid stretch myself because 1) I don't have a show car, and 2) I think they're firking ridiculous...  :rolleyes:

Oh and i do 3 miles to and from work walking and would quite happily do a bit more.  :laugh:

The average human walking speed is about 3 miles per hour, so that's 1 hour 20 mins.
