Is that amount of time common to walk in places in the world where cars don’t dictate the layout of the community?
Im going to be making this walk tomorrow, no worries, I’m just curious if its normal in other places. Maps says its 1hour15minues for 2.3miles or 3.7Km.
i try to walk 4 miles a day and often i burn those miles going to the library
Bus or bike distance.
But i also walk closer to 3mph so maybe it would be on the edge of the weather is nice.
If I had no responsibilities for the day I would walk that but if I had anything else it would add up too much
Where I grew up it was about a 45 minute walk to the library. I went maybe twice a year.
Now I’m about 15 minutes from the library and I’m there weekly.
Its a perfectly fine walk to go that far, it just kinda blows to do it regularly
No, I wouldn’t. For daily needs, the walk needs to be less than 10 minutes. Weekly less than 20, and anything over that needs to be a special thing. I know the pain of lugging back groceries and a heavy load of books on what was a 20 minute walk one way. Those get a bike with luggage, or the scooter.
I think my requirements would be the same if I had to use a car, actually. An hour trip to see relatives is a once a month/every two months thing.
4km / >30 mins is ok for 2x per month - but get a bike, that’s a 15 min ride - just l9ng enough for casual excessive.
I’d walk that for pleasure, but not for work. Time for you to get a bike.
I wouldn’t hesitate to walk that far for a library, but realistically I’d take my cruiser bike for that distance. I’ve heard people tend to cite around 15-20 minutes as the maximum walk length that is considered “walkable,” but I’ve often chosen walking longer distances than that even when other options were available. For dense urban areas, I’d rather walk that take a bus unless it’s really far. Sometimes I get passed up by the same bus 5 or 6 times along the way. I agree with others who have said that time estimate sounds way long.
No, that’s way too far just for the library. I’d do that for pleasure but right now I’m time poor and can’t afford that for a general task.
no, but i would bike 10 minutes
What kind of path takes 75min for 3.7km? In a normal environment, this should be doable in 40 minutes.
Nah. If I can use public transport for such distances, I will.
For once because it’s quicker, and because my path would probably lead along some noisy roads, so it wouldn’t be fun to walk there
I don’t go to the office often, but when I do, I usually walk. The distance is 4km and it takes me 40mins. It’s not like I walk often, most days I get less than 2k steps, but I do walk fast.
It is up to you (unless the infrastructure is an ass) to make it there in 40mins or 2 hours
The infrastructure is ass.
I’m sorry for your loss
If it’s more than a 20 minute walk I’m biking, if it’s more than a 30 minute bike ride I’m driving, if it’s more than a 40 minute drive I’m not going.
Last time I lived in a city, 15m is where I’d take the bus instead.
