It's a tough one isn't it? Small Girl could technically walk it, but she is so slow and easily distracted that we'd have to leave 20 minutes earlier. The route is part sidewalk (aka overflow parking for the business units and an unofficial over/undertaking lane ) and part narrow country road with quite a bit of traffic but no sidewalk - so I feel far safer on the bike despite the poor road surface. Two miles on a cold engine is so bad for my car and so fuel-inefficient that I'd really like to cycle it more often.
