Walking in Waterloo Region

[tomh009]

That was very well said, Pheidippides, thanks. I'm with you on most of that. We all have different roles to play in the shift that is (slowly) happening. I've long felt that the most important thing I do is getting around by bus or on foot, and showing others how easy that is by not being heard complaining about it.

Yes ... a great post by Pheidippides.  I, too, try to positively promote car-free travel in town. I can often let friends, colleagues and business owners know that I'm reaching them by foot (or occasionally by bike) without being preachy, and that my car (yes, I still have one) is sitting in the garage six days out of seven.  And, yes, that I walked to work every day of the winter, too, even when the wind made it somewhat unpleasant.

Edit: Math problems ... sigh.
