Walking
and cycling are among the most elegant commute solutions. They are
inexpensive, pollution-free, healthful, and stress relieving. Some
"human-powered" commuters find that they rediscover their
neighborhoods, enjoying subtleties of landscape and architecture
that go unnoticed from an automobile.
Many
potential bicycle and pedestrian commuters never get started, fearing
that the trip will take too long, or be physically exhausting. Not
all trips lend themselves to cycling and walking. But if cycling
to work isn't practical, perhaps walking to the post office or corner
store is. And remember, walking and cycling are great exercise.
Your trip to work might just replace your workout!
