Also I grew up in a small town where it was over an hour walk or a 20 minute bike ride to the grocery store. I used to bike to school (which took half an hour) and was almost hit a few times. There’s no sidewalks in most the town either
In my current city, I’m a 2 min walk to the bus stop, a 5 min walk to the grocery store and a 10 min walk to the train station. If I feel like I might be late for something I’ll bring my skateboard and turn 10 minutes into 4. Kinda feels like more freedom to me
