When cycling so much, forgotten much walking

[Melalvai]

For instance, living in Ontario..I just found it less hot, humid/awful in the summer, if it was 30 degrees C and humid, to cycle to the store that was a 15 min. walk away instead of walking under the blazing sun and have cars swirl by me. I know about weight bearing benefits, but really I had zero interest in lugging home groceries under those weather conditions.

I got one of the collapsible grocery carts because my husband hates to bike but he'll walk, and the grocery store is 1/2 mile away. Even a small grocery trip seemed to generate some weighty bags that weren't fun to carry home.

I know the feeling, there are times when I never leave the house without my bike, even if it's just to the grocery store around the corner. I think it's worth the effort because I don't have to carry everything but can put it on the rack.

But I have consciously been trying to walk more and do short errands on foot. Now there's snow on the streets and I have to walk more anyway until there is less frozen mud.

Today it is raining in the Valley and it rained yesterday and probably will rain tomorrow. We really need it so it is a good thing. I went for a walk in the rain today because I am going a bit stir crazy cooped up in the motorhome. I don't mind being out in the rain but walking is so sloooooowwwww.

I also came to the realization from this thread that I love to bike but I don't like to exercise. I only exercise so I can bike.

Nope. I like riding. I like walking too. You can experience and enjoy the world in totally different ways doing each, and I like 'em both.
