Think again.

I walked to get my groceries.
I walked to church.
I walked to my physiotherapist.
I walked to my Dr.
I walked to my tanning salon.
I walked the 4 miles to work in the winter when the roads were too icy for me to ride my bicycle.

There were only 3 places I couldn't easily walk: my chiropractor where I went a handful of times each year, the college where I took some night classes, and my vet where I went once or twice a year. My vet was within walking distance, but not while carrying 3 cats. For those occasions, I used the bus.

I also used the bus a few times when I was redecorating my apartment and wanted to haul home some larger pieces of furniture etc. ... but there was usually a lot of walking involved in those little adventures too.

I only used my bicycle for commuting to and from work. I didn't like to use my bicycle for anything else because I was a bit leary about it being stolen.

When I lived in Winnipeg, I was a skinny little rail of a girl ... I miss all that walking.
