Get an E-Bike (hexbear.net)

It's marginal gains all the way here but genuinely if you're an omnivore the E-Bike might work out more enviromentally conscious

But "15 minute cities" are not "cities that can be wholly walked in 15 minutes," they're cities where everything you need for day to day living is within 15 minutes. It's fine if you have to walk an hour to see like a specialist doctor or to some concert venue or something since you're not doing that every day. If your grocery store is more than 15 minutes walking though, that's an issue.

yikes

15 minutes to get to a grocery store is probably too much tbh

The grocery store should be built into the ground level of your building and they should send your groceries up to you with pnuematic tubes.

hell, instead of walking or biking or riding the bus we should just hop in a tube

It's not that people are expected to walk an hour to see a specialist doctor but that the city is still considered walkable even if you have to drive/use public transport on rare occasions like seeing the specialist doctor twice a year or whatever.

Nah that's actually important, making people walk for like 15 minutes is very important for overall health. People need to walk, a frictionless existence is horrible.

my knees are fucked up, if i was never obligated to walk that would be cool and reduce my suffering
