"Bikes are a quicker way to get around. We should use them so we can enjoy more of our destination I hate walking anywhere. Whenever we explore Berlin, where we live, I prefer to cycle. It's easier, it's more fun, and it saves time. My husband disagrees. Frantz loves walking and I always end up trailing behind him by bike, which is uncomfortable because I have to pedal slowly to keep at his pace."
"Walking is boring; I find it monotonous. I don't like how you take the same routes when walking, going up and down the same roads. When you go by bike you often find new trails and parks, and end up discovering new things. Frantz says the opposite, that walking helps you uncover neighbourhood gems, but I guess it depends what you're looking for."
"We don't have a car, and even though cycling can be hard in the snow and wind, it's better than walking I also prefer cycling because it frees up more time by reducing our commute. Berlin is a very walkable city, but in the winter it's too cold to dawdle. We don't have a car, and even though cycling can be hard in the snow and wind, it's better than walking."
An individual prefers cycling around Berlin because it is quicker, more fun, and saves time compared with walking. Cycling enables discovery of new trails and parks, and reduces commute time, especially in cold weather. The individual mentions practical drawbacks like snow and wind but still finds cycling superior to dawdling on foot. A partner prefers walking, causing slow shared outings and repeated compromise that satisfies neither. Waiting at stops or for bike locks creates friction. The couple acquired bikes recently after years of walking, and cycling provides more time at destinations and a livelier travel experience.
