I walk about two miles both ways to get to work on the daily. It's nothing to me; inconvenient on particularly cold or hot days, but hardly a long way.

A mile is a long way to run. I can walk it no problem, but I'm usually too impatient to. if I'm hiking, I can knock out about 12 miles a day. But there's not just "my city isn't designed for walkers" but also "It's friggin zero degrees Fahrenheit out there right now, and I'm not really eager to walk the 30 yards from door to my car, much less be out in it for ~30 minutes."

A mile is a trivial distance to walk. What you probably aren't realizing about the USA is that the place is so huge and sparsely populated, that a mile in any direction isn't likely to get you anywhere important in about 95% of the country.

Since a mile is longer than a kilometer, it's easier to misjudge how far a mile is. Most people would probably be surprised to know they already walk several miles a day.

It's not that it is a long way to walk it isn't, it's that walking a mile takes 15 minutes ish, so say I need something from the grocery store that's about a mile from me, 15 minutes there 10 minutes to get my shit and 15 minutes back that's 40 minutes I rarely have 40 minutes that something doesn't need my attention short of after 9pm and then it's dark and this time of year cold as balls so I look at the trail that I can walk to the store on and my car with heated seats and which would you choose?
