Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I do get a feeling that you mean walking for pleasure. Although that's important, it's much more important doing chores and going to work. That means that your destination is predetermined and your ability to avoid unpleasant and dangerous sections is limited.

No, I really don't like walking for pleasure, I only walk to get places. I bike a lot more, again, to get places. In suburban areas, there are a ton of side streets to take, so as long as I avoid the main arteries and the "arteries" (side streets the locals race down), I'm good.

Some areas don't have a ton of options, especially commercial areas like strip malls and whatnot. But generally speaking, there are options. For example, we have one main road where pretty much all the stores are, and cars go quite fast. But there are also alleys behind stores where the big trucks go that are almost always empty and where the employees tend to go on break, so I can avoid a lot of the busy roads and parking lots that way. That works well in suburban areas, whereas in urban areas, those alleys can be a bit sketchy.

But yeah, it really depends on the area and where you work.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
