I walked again

I grew up in a ‘walking’ town. As the town became a city, the autorickshaw became the basic mode of public transport. The rickshaw is a lot more convenient than a public bus, and more comfy than cycling or walking. As my family moved up the socio-economic ladder, the rickshaw became affordable. Add to the mix the motorized two-wheeler if you could not afford a car and you will see why, 15 years ago, I stopped walking or cycling.
Which is why I was amazed by the amount I had to walk in the UK just to get around.
