Article from 1999, referenced study likely from earlier.
The average American walks less than 75 miles a year - about 1.4 miles a week, barely 350 yards a day.

Fair on the weight!
Still, I have to say that bike commuting regularly is definitely above average. Maybe you’re not living in the most representative area?
I have family that certainly only walk a few hundred meters a day.
I’d be surprised if I wasn’t: Most things are within about a 25 minute walk for me, much less on a bike. Still though, I feel like that study’s numbers were off.
