Maybe thats so, but its business that has made it that so. How did your grandparents buy a sofa? How did the shopping come home? Did you father travel the distances you do to get to work?
I walk the half mile to work daily, twice, I usually go home for lunch. I left my job that involved an hour commute for one closer home. I walk to the shops when I can and as much as I love my cars and motorbikes I have invested in a Eco friendly car that already has saved me money with fuel and tax. I also feel my classic cars has earned its keep buy recycling itself with second hand spare parts (since new are not to be had) avoiding the need for manufactuer and therefore equally friendly to the environment by not getting used every day.
I'm lucky, nothing is too far away, but a push bike? Forget it, you see the hills we have around here!
