@bobjmsn I remember my grandfather telling me that his father never went more than five miles away from his home in his entire life, because that was a day's walk and back. And my grandfather said that with a bike he could get a whole ten miles and back in a single day.

Then he bought a car in his 40s. And then he could go 40/50 miles. And I own a car, and can go a hundred miles, or even jump a plane and go thousands if I want.

I'm not going back to bike or foot travel. Not voting .

@CrypticMirror @bobjmsn 20 miles by bike takes most folk about an hour and a half. What was your grandfather up to for the rest of the day? Did your grandmother ever think to ask?

@CrypticMirror @bobjmsn I should be safe enough if you're as slow off the mark as your Grandpa. 🤣 never walked further than five miles from home in his life, eh? Sounds legit. 😐
