It was a gorgeous day today - ~15 °C, clear, calm - so this afternoon I went on a walk! The general idea was to scout out the potential bike-to-school path, which is south on Sligo Creek Trail, then north on Northwest Branch, so I walked to and about a mile down the former before I turned around.
On the way back, I timed myself over the "1.0 mile" between the two road crossings. From which, I calculated that xkcd was right about the velocity of a walking pace (except that 1.5 m/s is 6 kph - but I walk briskly). And also determined that 1 km ≅ 0.622 miles, which is almost correct.
Go me!
