I walked 14 miles round trip to work at the university for 7 months this year because I sold my bike to pay for my last semester of graduate school and my wife needed my truck for her job. I feel for him and, while I can relate, I'm glad to be back on a bike making real money finally. I couldn't imagine doing what I did for 10 years knowing that there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
I walked 7 miles home a couple of times from a job. That's doable. And I've run a marathon, which is also doable. But this guy walks 42 miles a day, 5 days a week, for 10 years? Just. Plain. Silly.
