touch your toes but not in front of gentlemen

I often find that stretching out my arm while standing at a bus-stop usually works very well when i'm considering cycling or walking

put your feet flat on the floor facing straight foreward about 2-3 ft apart (lengthwise. first bend you one knee forward. secondly lean backward.

Stand on tiptoes, reach up to the ceiling. Wait 5 seconds then slowly lower your arms and feet but 'leave your head in the same place that it was' when you were on tiptoes. It's a good back stretch.
