What kind of bike do you have? If it's a cheap mountain bike, then I'd suggest getting some semi-slick tyres to reduce rolling resistance - these make a massive difference on the road, or to get/try a race bike, as these allow you to go much faster with similar effort.
How come you go half the speed when you up the distance to 4-6miles?
I'd love to cycle everywhere, but conversely, town is about 12miles away, which isn't convenient very often.
