Yeah. It's cheaper than the bus even.
Walking is similar in cost as my shoes usually run £100-250/pair and a good resoling is around £100. I bought a nice pair of handmade Italian shoes in a Tuscan village but without a leather sole ... lasted about 6 months at 300km/month of walking or about 2000km total for €150.
I'll probably switch it out for Nihola bike if I am ever fortunate enough to have a child.
