@ainmosni @deathkitten @arianvp It never occurred to me. All my corporate life, I put on sneakers or very comfortable shoes with my suit and walked, under bridges, on bridges, grass, dirt, sidewalk, whatever.
I'm learning something every day. I love Mastodon.
With you on the public transportation and bike lanes. Build them (frequent, efficient and safe) and they will come.

@penpencilbrush @deathkitten @arianvp Yeah, fair, in the end it all comes down on the same thing, some people will walk/bike no matter what, but every time we get rid of a barrier, the group of pedestrians and cyclists will grow. Like, I walk, cycle, or take transit everywhere, and because of the cities I've lived in, I never had the need to even get a drivers license. But when I visited North America, I mostly felt very dependent on friends to get around, as the non-car infrastructure was barren, and everything was built on a scale that assumed you would just drive.
