When we decided to move house, we had some search parameters like school/daycare for the children.
And I needed a railway station in the neighbourhood.
Before, I had one at 500m walking distance.
Now, I have one at 2300m (partial uphill), so now I take the bike.
Some days like today, I go to another railway station where I have more trains, but that's 7900m (7,9 km that is) distance.
In fact, my new home pushed me on my bike. As I don't like to drive a car instead.
