I was talking to a friend and complaining that the nearest grocery store is 3km from me, he says that Europeans consider that a reasonable distance to the store and I’m just being lazy.
I don’t have a car, I don’t have a bike, and the bus only comes by every four hours. Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to carry groceries 3km in 30C weather, or is my friend full of shit? Neither of us have been to Europe.
If you cover 12.5 m/s you can walk 3 km in 4 minutes. Should be doable walking if you take 2 strides a second and are about 1500 cm tall.
Sorry, are you saying 1 stride = 6.25 m? That seems absurd to me. But I’m a short lady, not Mr. Fantastic.
1500cm is close to 50 feet tall, so only if you were a giant would those long strides be possible. 😀
