Everyone I know – literally everyone – did this. Walk to the library, walk to the bakery, walk to school, etc. Often around a kilometer each direction.<p>From 5 on, as with 6 we had to walk to school for 1.4 kilometer, and back, so there was no alternative.<p>And with 10, when many kids go to secondary school, we have to use public transit to get to school anyway, so many kids started at that age to take bus&#x2F;metro&#x2F;etc to go to other places, too.
