Walking is underrated. Multiple times I had people express utter bafflement over the fact that I walked to the city centre from my place, which is a distance of... 4km. I used to live in Bologna where for the first time in my life I saw a cyclist start crossing on a red light, going over a total of 4 lanes in high traffic. Meanwhile in my current city the authorities appear to promote cycling because it draws attention away from the sorry state of public transport, with frequent tram derailings. Unfortunately they occasionally lump cyclists and pedestrians together in the process, degrading my walking experience considerably.
