Google maps has the bicycle ride from home to my office at 3 hours 29
minutes. No thank you. Walking is 4 hours and 54 minutes, and I'm
pretty sure pedestrian travel on some of the roads it mentions is
forbidden; actual time would be much greater. And there is no subway.

Oh sorry to hear that you chose to live in the boondocks and that you
can't even make it to the market on bike. Actually I got a campaign
called "BUY LOCALLY, BIKE LOCALLY"... It kind of makes sense, right?
