It'd be well worth aiming to include some active travel (e.g. walking) in your daily schedule as otherwise you may think that you're saving time by parking so close, but you're really shortening your lifespan with an increased chance of sedentary diseases.
- JoshTriplett 1y agoRegular exercise is absolutely important. Mixing it with transportation is a recipe for arriving covered in sweat (and, often, rain).

- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoI had to check your comment history to figure out if you were being ironic - such is the motornormativity in our culture.
- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoIt depends on the nature of the commute, but yes that can be an issue. A big advantage of active travel is that it can be a convenient way for people to find time to do exercise regularly without having to attend a gym etc.
- piva00 1y agoAnd still millions of people outside of the USA in advanced economies do it everyday, in the rain, in the snow, it's not a big issue at all except for a society which has no other experience than personal, individual transportation. Might have something to do with that, no? Americans usually bring up these obstacles that don't materialise in the reality lived by the Dutch, Danes, Belgians, etc., while not even having the means to try it out in reality to verify if those obstacles are actually real. It's a fantasy of fear.
