what do you think?

Read this and tell me what you think.

I think:
- when I go visit friends in unwalkable cities (like Canberra, or my ps in Hobart, who live in Rose Bay across the river from Hobart proper) I do less walking and don't like it.
- when we baby sit friends' cars I automatically drive more and bike less.
- I ride my bike everywhere and seldom walk. This is a more efficient mode of transport, which means I actually get less exercise.
- you have to drive everywhere when you live in the outer suburbs - things are further away and the traffic moves faster on the emptier streets so it's scarier to ride your bike.
- there are no interesting alleys in the suburbs.
- there are 'nature strips' (isn't that a funny term?) in the suburbs, and none in the city. I don't understand why.
