I really enjoy walking. I was wondering if anyone else does. Seriously though. This isn't a joke. I tend to walk to a lot of places, sometimes long distances. My friends seem to all dislike walking if it's longer than like a block or two. I mean, why the rush? Walking is nice. It may take longer, but hey you're going to get there. Or even riding bikes. Just because you're old enough to drive doesn't mean you have to drive everywhere. Bikes are fun too. Walking is the best thing ever. and, ermmmmm, my car is broken..... but i still like walking anyway. seriously. |

You americans are so weird. My brother moved to Texas awhile back and he tells me these strange stories of everybody owning car and driving to the 7-11 that's 500 meters away. I think he also said that there is no public transportation whatsoever there. That is just so odd!! I live in Helsinki and you really don't need a car. You can get everywhere fast and relatively cheaply by just using the bus/tram/subway system. I mean no offence by this post, it just amazes me how different everything is across the ocean. And yes, I think walking is fun too! It's also good exercise. |

walking is ok... especially while playing ICBYD.. thats my fave walking music |

me and a couple of friends used to spend entire days walking, we used to just walk and talk, going to all crazy distances and back for no reason, but I broke my leg recently, so long walking is out of the question now,... |

I always end up parking terribly far from wherever I'm trying to reach, just because I can't parallel park if there is only one space between cars, so I must go to the more un-populated areas |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I always park RIGHT in front of where I need to be, but not always legally |
||||||||

but I don't mind walking. it's just walking. It is the 3rd most energy efficient form of transportation known to man |

I love it! I could use my bike or the bus but walking is so calm. I can think really efficent about my life n stuff while Im walking. Its kinda like a trance. When I worked in kitchen I had to chop 50+ Tomatos every morning and while I was doing it i had the same feeling. |

I used to walk stupidly long distances...just on a whim. Especially when the skies are gray and there is a strong, stiff, cool breeze blowing...What I do NOT like doing is having to walk on main streets...I try to take the by-lanes... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah, zoning out whilst doing those things is pretty damn cool, it always sucks when all you can think of is how long something is taking,... so it seems to take forever |

Right! A natural//lonley surrounding is essential.Im so happy that I have a giant park just a few steps away. |

I enjoy walking too. It's really cool and relaxing. I'm going on holiday on Saturday and my girlfriend is coming with me. We're going to some place near Buxton. Loads of walks there so it's a good job we've got the dog :) Also going Alton Towers though. w00t! |

I love to walk too. I recently joined a gym here in Lithuania, and I regularly walk the three miles to the gym, work out for an hour, swim 30 lengths and then walk back home! It's a killer, but I always feel really relaxed afterwards. |

Laurie Anderson did a song about the mechanics of walking... "It's like falling, and then you stop yourself from falling" or something like that. It's called "Walking and Falling" Walking is great for the mind, body and environment. |

i prefer biking but me and the missus walk evrywhere together. she recently moved to a new neighbourhood with loads of little parks, canal walks etc so we´re exploring everywhere on foot. |

i'm not a fan of walking myself. |

in nature/forest/mountain etc., yes, i like it... =) in town though where ground is flat, my feet seem to go tired much easier, that's a bit weird?! |

It has been my experience in the USA that they'll take their cars to the 7-11 500 meters away, too. I think they are so car-dependant maybe because of the separation between residential and business/retail sections of their community. |

Most people in this town have cars or especially bikes - there are more of those here than anywhere else I've lived - and there's decent public transportation for those who don't (such as myself), but I always end up walking everywhere anyway. I wish I had more time to walk just for the sake of it; maybe I'll be able to make use of the summer for this. |

riding a bike is good also saw2 is perfect for a stroll through the woods |

i walk like a madman... several kilometres each day... and in the weekends i basically recover all my city walking. it´s like a need. maybe i´m still searching for somebody... just a curious thing. did u discovered how IDM is riding a bike? you have boards of canada - happy cycling and múm - slow bicycle and i know a local IDM artist that has a track called riding a bycycle. it´s because it´s just something so simple, natural and naive... |

I do a lot of biking. I bike 5 miles (7km) to work and the same back.This is the quickest mode of transport. Also,I do a lot of mountainbiking and road biking on my days off.I often go out and do 60+ miles. Also I walk quite a bit,but being a biker walking seems to not seem so exillerating as getting on a bike. But walking is nice for clearing heads,walking through forests,up mountains and along cold beaches is the best.Especially when listening to a good cd. |

I just got back from work and it's amazing to see how many people like walking. I seriously need a walking buddy. That would be so amazing. |

I love walking... I could walk to Antarctica if I had a discman and a LOT of CDs with me, I'd never get bored. Same goes for driving. If I've got music, I can drive till I pass out. Without music, I get frustrated when I have to walk unless it's in a new or interesting area, in the woods or a castle or a dungeon or something. You know, those kind of places. |

I'd be your walking buddy but theres no chance i'd walk to America just to do more walking. |

I like walking through the city late at night, coming from a session of drinking etc. at a friends house. Stumbling through empty streets and thinking aimless thoughts, on a nice night it's wonderful. Also prevents me falling into bed wasted and waking up with terrible hangovers. |

yes to walking. no to not walking. |

i love walking to go exploring remote, presumably haunted areas of woods and to exploring abandoned houses and shit with my friends. being able to walk is a great thing, most of us take it for granted. |

Yeah, walking is fantastic that's for sure. It sort of cleans you out and makes you feel more refreshed about your life, yourself etc... but I can never listen to SAWII while I'm walking because I can't hear it, damnit! Traffic/birds and animals/other people are always too loud... Nope...SAWII is listened to whilst overlooking the ocean. Absolutely beautiful. |

yeah I think walking, like talking is also a great way to think. Besides listen to music you can't do too much that will occupy your brain when walking so I find I think of some good sht. |

walking is great and all but running is where it's at. i used to go running at night all of the time when i lived in town and i would scare the shit out of myself imagining running from all of the rapists and murderers that were hiding in the bushes next to the sidewalks. there is not much that is more invigorating than that kind of adrenaline rush. |

Funny a topic about walking would come up. I've walked many a kilometer so far. I lived in town for along time, and made lots of friends here, but in grade 11 i moved to a bay that was just outside town, about 16km. I walked back and forth from town (St.John's) to my home (Torbay) so many times. Its a very relaxing thing, gives me the feeling of being closer to nature. Recenly I fractured my leg, and I now sport a few new scars and a metal rod. For about a month I could not walk, and it was only then that I realized how much I took it for granted. I try to walk for 2 hours every day to get my leg back to normal, using weights on my ankles. (Oh i live back in town btw, moved out with some roommates). Biking also rocks, i love the rush i get when going 40+km/hour down hills, and the fact that i can travel so fast without causing any damage to the environment! |
