Last Saturday, I went for a run. It was great, and everyone was out and about enjoying the outdoors.

The weather was very fine. The sun shone strong, the skies were blue. The temperature was mild, but the warmest yet this year.

As I ran, I decided to go through town. I headed south.

I went for a while until the road became an off-ramp for the highway. And then I thought of something.

Why is it that we only have roads connecting major separated towns, cities, etc.? Why do we rely on motor vehicles to provide for our travels?

What happened to physical labor transportation?

Why don’t we have extended bike-only highways and sidewalks between one place or another? Is it inefficient, or has it only been guilty for causing the dependence on our automobiles?

I think we need to introduce long-distance, physical transportation routes, throwing in dedicated pit-stops along the way.

It might prove to be enjoyable on a day when the weather is fine.
