Honestly the number of people in that thread claiming that walking 3 miles in 45mins was some super human ability was shocking. I’d bet good money that they have never actually walked more than 5 mins anywhere other than maybe when shopping.
Ok, wait. I regularly take a 1.5km (close to a mile) path uphill that I need 20min to walk (and people say I’m a fast walker). How are you all walking so fast? I need to wait for trafic semaphores and stuff, but how can walking almost 5km (more than 3 times my path) take only twice as long?
I walk fast cause I’m 2 m tall and have long legs, but my ex used to walk a Pokemon go route with me that was 1.6 miles and it took us just about an hour to go through it and back. She was not very tall and had no problem keeping up.
15 minute mile is my “walking while listening to fast music” fast pace. It is definitely a brisk pace but this is not even close to jogging. And 3.5 miles is my normal distance.
And even then, the point is more that if you are moving at 4 mph in your car, the car is doing almost no work. 4mph for a semi in shape human is perfectly reasonable to walk, so if that is all your car is providing you, it isn’t worth it.
Around 5,5 km from me to my Grandpa on the other side of my city with pedestrian lights etc. Takes me around 45-50 minutes. Fast walker, around average height for an EU man.
Medan human walking speed is ~4 MPH* so, actually, yeah pretty much half of people aren’t going to be able to do 3 miles in 45 minutes right off the bat. That’s before we take into account crosswalks and other walking hazards and that obesity and sedentary lifestyles are on the rise.
* I was taught 5 MPH but I found multiple sources that listed 5, 4, and 3 MPH so yeah…
If anything, it’s worse in the middle of the lane jammed up another car’s exhaust. You think your car protects you from pollution? It exposes you to pollution!
3 miles over 45 minutes. You can literally walk briskly faster than that!
A decent amount of Americans are not in good enough shape to walk 3 miles in any amount of time.
So you’re saying they need the exercise? Another good reason to just walk.

5km in an hour is a brisk walk. In 45 minutes it’s probably closer to a jog. It’s not super human but it’s not a normal walking pace.
It might be a challenge specially in the worse of summer/winter.
why did you guys break up
Complicated, but we’re still friendly.
if you had to adjudicate, who was the driver of the separation?
Me most likely.

3 mi in 45 min? That’s about 6 or 7 kph. That’s a brisk walking pace. And a bicycle easily does twice, maybe even thrice that.

As a 5’ person, 3 mph is a sweaty pace for me even in cold weather. Someone with long legs might find 5 mph easy but I’d be running.
A bicycle would make him feel like Superman
With no sidewalk, breathing fumes the whole way
I guess I am lucky I live somewhere not in a city, but my downtown area does have a sidewalk.
Where do you think the air inside of your car is coming from?
WE’RE ALL BREATHING THE FUMES.

Not if there are dogs, or bees. Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark, they shoot bees at you.
If those were there I’d probably get to work in 15 minutes lol
I get along with both dogs & bees. The three of us will join powers with the wasp clan and reek havoc on the CEOs!
