Live in a walkable area, have a dog, and don't own a car. Everywhere I need to go, whether it's for groceries or the pharmacy or to a coffee shop, I use my feet. Plus I take my dog for walks every day and extra long ones on the weekend. In an average week I walk several km.
Yeah, that first one is a toughie. In the US at least, that's only a handful of city areas. And not even the metro areas but actually w/in public transit circles. I wish more places were like that.

Yeah. Moved from FL to MD and the older places have sidewalks here. I love it. Not walking in the street is great.
