Do you ever walk to work?

I walked back once when the place got flooded.

Judgeneo · 2 Mar 2011 at 19:32

Nope, I cycle

EddScott · 2 Mar 2011 at 19:35

Either walk or cycle but only when the weather is OK.

The nippers school is on the way so its 15 minutes to her school and 10 minutes down hill pretty much all the way to the door.

Home time can be a killer on the bike. I'm aiming to be able to get up the hill without having to get off by the summer.

Indeed. I don't fancy walking 28miles.

I walk to the train station then walk from Euston to Chancery Lane. Does that count?

I often bus to work and run the journey home, its about 6 miles and keeps me in great shape. I normally do that three times a week when I work 8-4, however its still a bit dark for the 9-5 shift. Bring on the end of the month and the clocks changing!!

I normally walk, it's only 3.2miles and only takes about 15mins longer than the car - getting in and out of the city centre is awesome fun

(not)

I always walk, I live 850 metres away.

Conanius · 2 Mar 2011 at 22:16

I probably could walk it, but I cycle instead (12 miles each way)

6thElement · 2 Mar 2011 at 22:22

6 miles, so I cycle or use the subway if the weather is bad.

MofoKilla · 2 Mar 2011 at 22:30

no work is 141 miles away

since my car got £700 worth of damage to it in the carpark, ive started walking to work. Lost a stone in the proccess...

nas · 3 Mar 2011 at 00:49

would if it was far, though there was a stage when I used public transport and walked to the station instead of taking a bus.

tim_2_5 · 3 Mar 2011 at 01:07

No, Its too far. Id consider walking if it was closer and the weather was decent.

Stinky · 3 Mar 2011 at 01:16

i wish i could but 200+ miles is a fair hike

Hate · 3 Mar 2011 at 08:23

I run home sometimes as I work 8 miles from home, if that counts.

That's too far for walking unless you were ridiculously keen, it would take ~3 hours each way so 6 whole hours of your day gone just getting to and from work.

If I don't need the car for work use then I cycle in to work. Takes me 20 minutes or 12 minutes if I go the short way. I have considered walking in, basically my options are:

Drive = 2.8 miles
Bike = a stressy 2.8 miles with traffic or 4.5 miles of deserted country roads (I only do the 2.8 miles if I'm running late)
Walk = 3 miles of public footpaths along fields etc. Nice walk but would need wellies most of the year

Witor · 3 Mar 2011 at 16:11

I Walk, hard not to as it's around 1/2 mile away.

Abraham · 3 Mar 2011 at 17:23

i'd happily walk every day, it's quite pleasant even it crappy weather. As it is I walk mon and fri, have to drop the gf off at work tues-thurs which is past my work anyway.
