      I just used my car to go 3 blocks away and I’m so disappointed in myself.

      Also the way back was like 10 blocks

        I used my car today to go about 2km away. I picked up a couple heavy packs of drinks, a box of litter, and and five bags of groceries. The travel maybe cost me 1USD. There is no fucking way I could lug all of that home for my family with something that isn’t a car.

        I am not disappointed in myself. I just have to play with the cards I’m dealt.

        If you measure in blocks and not miles, youre already likely in bike country! Im at least a 15 min drive from any grocery. So an hour bike.

          I don’t measure in miles because I live in a metric country. So I used blocks that we all understand.

          I have a lot of options for gfocieries nearby. They are just more expensive than the large sellers. ( 3 in a 2 block radius)

              So? If I say blocks, MOST people get it (let’s say 99%). if I say meters MOST people don’t get it (let’s say over 70% are from the us). If I say miles, I don’t get it.

              Which would you choose?

              Also id guess that even people who live in spread out cities or non city areas still go somewhat often to standard cities

                Aren’t city blocks non standard as well?

                I think kms would probably cover most people. Even a dumb American can understand that
