22nd September 2007 will be a great day for cars, as they will take rest from their long tiring journeys. Hey, its World Car Free day! So, get ready to explore your favorite city on foot. If you live in London, then its area must be haunting you. But, leave all your worries aside and get online.
Just log in to the award wining walkit! It is a walking route planner. In the past year, this site has created an amazing 1.3 million kms of routes by foot all over the streets as well as parks of Birmingham, Edinburgh and London.
Instead of opting for expensive buses and taxis, just log on to this site. In order to create a walking route, you need to enter any two points. It will also inform you amount of calories being burned, along with carbon saving during walking.
Walkit.com has also estimated that every walking route will burn approximately 13 tonnes of chocolate cake. According to the founder of walkit.com, Jamie Wallace, “Savvy people walk. It’s the quick, free, green and healthy way to get around town. No lycra or padding needed. No need for intimacy with sweaty strangers on the bus or tube. And best of all, no waiting – you’re in charge.”
On Sunday, there will be no cars in London. So, enjoy it by foot, as on the whole it is about 9 miles. Don’t you think, it will be a family picnic? Don’t miss the Freewheel Festival at St. James Park?
