Don't you have to find 2 friends and do this 3-abreast in order to truly qualify?

i love to walk for the same reasons i love to bike, i get to slow down and take in the world around me and explore. i prefer biking when i want to go faster or need to carry heavier loads

I personally don;t like walking that much, but only because I'm impatient and like to see what's round the next corner.
That's what I love about cycling. It's just the right speed for me; not too fast but not too slow, and it keeps me in touch with my environment in a way that driving never does.
