    Tip from person with short legs: if someone is walking faster behind you, move to the side and slow down to let them pass at their speed. You’re welcome fast walkers.

      If we’re walking together, can I give you a piggyback or something? It’s death walking somewhere for a purpose and taking like 50% longer to get there because your friend/partner/whoever doesn’t walk 6 km/h.

      6 km/h should be default. 1 km/10 mins just makes estimating arrival times perfect (1.5 km is 15 mins). And it’s not that fast even.

      Edit: I’ve taken your inch and asked for a mile

        ROFL! Just go ahead, save me a seat. My spouse and I can’t go hiking with certain friends because not only are we slow, but we stop to admire little things like moss, mushrooms and bugs.

          Oh that sounds lovely.

          I will say, if you’re walking for the purpose of walking (and not getting somewhere), I’m happy to stop to smell the roses
