Of the many ways to get to work - by car, ICE, S-, U- or tram, bike, taxi, e-scooter, whatever - the most natural is obviously also the most peculiar .
In any case, walking has no lobby.
Putting one foot in front of the other a few kilometers to get to the office is a discipline for eccentrics.
In contrast to the e-bike!
Hailed hundreds of times as a stroke of luck for employees who want to move around a bit instead of just being stuck in traffic.
Nonsense, more like a thousand times.
Or the e-scooter! Always available, chic, sporty, to kneel down. You might think that nothing more important for employees has been invented since printing or the computer. Not to forget the car, still the favorite when it comes to getting around, a god of mobility. In comparison, such a pedestrian is pretty uncool. He would have to be considered the king of commuters: 30 to 45 minutes of relaxed exercise on the last few kilometers to work (the whole distance must, yes, it usually can't be at all), which inspires every company doctor or family doctor.
It's safer than cycling anyway.
More environmentally friendly than anything else.
Sweating is not a pedestrian fate, provided that the pace is moderate.
And chic shoes to change for the office fit in every backpack.
Still not convinced?
Fine, last try.
If arguments don't help, then maybe a role model: In America a man would walk six hours a day to work, three there, three back because his car was broken and he didn't have the money to repair it.
He caught the eye of others, got a bunch of donations, and even got a bit famous.
So, let's go!
