4,82 km in 45 minutes is an easy walk??

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (3 children)

That’s 6.5 km/h, or about 4 mph. Very average.

My most recent measured walk, just wandering in no hurry was 4.37 km in 52 min. That’s 5 km/h or a little more than 3 mph.

So … yes?

I use an electric stand up scooter and a full face helmet. 3 miles is 20 minutes.

Yep, my area is like that. Long lines starting at 2:30 every day, lasting until at least 7. All along the entire route, there are new, enormous complexes going up on every square inch of open ground, and almost no road widening. When they do try to increase the infrastructure, by the time it's finished, it's already built up too much for the new roads to handle.

They're building high density transit to go with the high density housing, right? Cars are not high density transit.
