Why I Walk: Taking a Step in the Right Direction

Are you tired of…. 
- explaining why you enjoy walking and biking to your family and friends?
- people that don't understand the value of walkable neighborhoods?
- doing the math for friends and family on driving less?
Wouldn't you like to hand people a funny, short and insightful look at a culture of walking vs. a culture of driving?
Mayor Knox White, of Greenville, SC says about it:
"Kevin…..Just meant to tell you how much I enjoyed your book, "Why I walk." I like the way you blended your personal thoughts with those of others. Your message resonated with me–and, yes, I have changed a few habits as a result!!"
Jeremy Senko, of Spacing.ca writes:
"The book is literally filled with humor and optimism. I could imagine that Klinkenberg sat down every night to pen a little more of his short book after a brisk walk fired him up with endorphins, a feeling that was contagious and present on every page."
Why I Walk is a personal story of the benefits of living in a walkable neighborhood. In the book, the author describes the benefits in four discrete categories: Financial, Freedom, Health and Social. The book provides a window into his life and to others who live like him. And, it hopefully explains to those that don't understand just why this is such a great way to live.
Kevin Klinkenberg is the principal designer at K2 Urban Design. For more than two decades he has been working to create sustainable, sociable environments and walkable communities in cooperation with developers, cities, nonprofits, and public agencies.
