I usually walk to places in my neighborhood that are up to 1.5 miles one way, and pedal or drive to some others that are 4 - 6 miles away. One of these days I'm going to walk the 4+ miles to my GFs place, and walk back the next day.
Most of my neighbors think I'm strange for walking "all that distance" to the store (the up to 1.5 mile trip) when I can ride my bike or drive, as well as riding my bike to work (the 6 mile journey) when I can drive. Kind of like the returning Harley rider who was surprised when I told him I was going to ride 50 miles all in 1 day.
