This fine institution – shanks’ pony – has been a vital part of human transport for generations. It is an old-fashioned term that means travelling by foot.
I’ve been experimenting with this novel concept all week. Walking between appointments in the city during the business day (rather than catching a taxi).
Some benefits of walking like this include:
- getting some exercise
- it’s cheap (in fact it’s free)
- getting some fresh air
- thinking time
- lower carbon footprint
One thing that is making this possible for me is using a rolling laptop bag. Otherwise the thought of carrying around all my stuff (including laptop & work stuff) would be too depressing. This wheeled bag has been a really good investment.
