I'LL TELL you this, but you'll have to promise that it will go no further. Not long after we moved here we had the people next door round for dinner and - I swear this is true - they drove.

    I have failed to find the mentioned study.

    I can believe an elderly person barely moving, and perhaps there are a number of them?

      Yeah, aside from riding my bike, I would hardly call myself active but I sure as hell walk waaaay more than that. Even if I was above average (doubtful), these numbers seem off, especially for back then. With all sorts of delivery and micromobility devices these days, I figure we’re walking even less than we did in the 90s but still more than 1.4 miles per week (you could easily walk that without even leaving a building)
