    I live in a suburb and enjoy it a lot. It’s very walkable and people bike around the neighborhood all the time. We have a walking/biking path that connects to a larger trail that goes for a miles.

    But have you got anything to walk/bike to?

    A bike trail for sports is nice and all, but is it not just a larger island? What if you wanted to go to the supermarket, can you do that by bike/walking or do you run into obstacles like e.g. a highway that you can’t safely cross?

    Say you wanted to cycle or walk to the other side of the country (assuming you have the time), could you do that? How far can you go without a car?

      Yeah, I had another reply in this post where I talk about it. My subdivision is next to a commercial area so I can walk within 10 minutes to a grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants, fast food, gym, dry cleaners, banks, and to a bus stop for public transit.
