Suburbia kills us ADHD-people. Guess I'm not the only one here who sometimes feels an urgent need to move. And what is more convenient than walking (or biking) to the grocery store, your office, the metro tube, the bar or your friends' house?
I grew up in Holland and Spain. No problem to walk or take a bicycle there. I've lived in New York City and it was fine (better then Barcelona for running and bicycle, because of cleaner air). But other US cities are just soooo stretched you that you can not do it on a bicycle. Not to mention that time in sone Canadian suburb when they called the police, for chrissake, because I walked on the pavement. Normal person don't walk, only thieves do,apparently ?
Anyway, aren't suburbs "motion unfriendly" Is this changing nowadays? Now that it's known that being outside, & moving makes many people feel good?
