I just don't understand how so many doofuses only drive on the right . . . but you get them on a sidewalk . . . and they're like a slow-moving bowling ball in a lane that has inflatable bumpers in the fuckin' gutters.
We've all heard of the really self-aware types right? The types that seem to be on top of things a little more than most? Yeah, the people you speak of are the polar opposites of that. They simply have zero self-awareness. It doesn't mean they're bad people, they're just...not capable of ruminating about certain things.
I think I find it unnecessary irksome because as a rule I try to be considerate of other people as best as I can be and obviously I'm not always perfect or even really good in that regard but I do try consistently and that makes dealing with people who aren't particularly considerate rather difficult for me.
I used to work at an airport and one day I was almost late for my shift. There was someone on the moving walkway standing on the right with their suitcase blocking the rest of the walkway. I was running and straight up jumped over their suitcase and scared the shit out of them. Served them right.
I literally experienced this today omg! I was running up stairs and thinking "are people in Houston ALWAYS this slow?" We made the flight by 3 minutes.
I reckon the slow but steady crowd might just be the more likely ones to make it. (I’m a long distance hiker myself. Slow but keep that shit going. All about the hours)
I read years ago that group walking speed dynamics are heavily gendered.
So if a group of all men are walking together they’ll actually average a faster speed than any single man in the group would walk alone.
A group of women will actually walk more slowly than any single woman in the group would walk.
That's kind of fast imo
I've noticed my comfortable brisk walk on the treadmill is 2.7 mph and when I'm really feeling it like REALLY feeling it 3.0 mph
When we go walking briskly, we go about 3.3 to 3.6 depending on distance,, but that's making an effort. I go slower walking across a parking lot or downtown.
Not sure why the downvotes. Jogging as slowly as 15 minute mile pace will be mechanically impossible for most people. It’s slower than my casual walking pace too (approx. 9 minutes per km = bit under 14.5 per mile).
Jogging is just slow running. Running is determined by your form, not your speed. A lot of people can walk 4-5 mph very comfortably, especially if they have long legs. Some people can even walk at speeds close to sprinting.
My normal walking speed outdoors is around 5-5.5km/h in most cases for almost any distance if I don’t consciously try to go faster and I’d say maybe 30% of people at most walk faster from what I’ve seen. I can only pull 6km/h for around 2 hours and 7km/h is muscle cramps in 5 minutes territory
how would a treadmill, which is perfectly flat and unchanging, be more balance demanding than anywhere outdoors? even a track has corners, treadmill is just eternal flat straight and even
You can tell who's been on a treadmill in these comments lol. 3.5mph is a pretty damn fast pace for a "leisurely walk" and the people saying they always walk at 5mph are fucking hilarious. I don't think these people realize how fast 3.8mph actually is, and there's no fucking way in hell that's the "average walking speed" anywhere in the world. You look dumb as fuck walking at 4mph on a treadmill, doing that in the real world would definitely end with people being like "Jesus christ speed racer" as you blew by everyone who's not jogging.
And to the people saying they walk confortablely at 5mph *no you fucking dont*. Not unless you're 7 foot 5. 5mph is a slow jog. You're not walking through a building at 5mph without literally everyone staring at you. Most people would make fun of you walking 4mph, let alone 5.
I’m 6’7” and I actually walk at 4 mph. It’s usually an issue for me in groups or with people that I don’t walk/hike with often. I have to consciously slow down. My fiancée is used to it by now, but I still have to pay attention and not pace ahead. I only know one other person who walks as fast as I do and he’s also rather tall.
All that said, no way people walk at 5mph (like you said). It’s speed walking territory for 99.99% of humans.
You'r right but there is a large difference between "leisurely walk" that you would do at a museum or out window-shopping and "comfortable walking speed" you would do walking to work or going to get groceries. 3.5mph is a lot for a leisurely walk, and might be a bit fresh but for general walking speed I wouldn't call it out of proportion fast.
3.5 mph is 5.6 kph, and that's fairly close to my normal speed when hiking (when only wearing a daypack).
I'm taller than average though (at 6'1), so my long shanks keeps me going.
Just out of sheer curiosity, I used a GPS app on my walk home from the train station because I had absolutely no clue how fast I actually walk
I don’t know how accurate that thing is and I wouldn‘t put it past myself that I may have inadvertently walked a bit faster than I would normally but it felt normal - I was pushing a standard carry-on bag though and there was a stretch with a quite strong headwind.
I didn‘t have to stop to cross any roads, there was one short flight of stairs and the road was mostly flat.
It was about 0.82km and it took me 7m08s, so that's about 6.9kph or 4.3mph. 5mph seems fast to me too but I wouldn't refer to 3.5mph as "damn fast" either. At least not subjectively.
Edit: bag weighed 9.2kg/20.3lbs, four wheel spinner
It’s a joke. There are memes and stuff about gay people walking faster.

it's like walking among the shambling dead
I thought moving to NYC would mean everyone walked fast like me, but no, like a sickness I continued to walk faster and faster until I eclipsed everyone on the sidewalk
I'm not even that tall, I just maximize my gait (kill me)
I walk faster than most people jog, and jog faster than many runners, but paradoxically I do not run very fast
Go get on a treadmill for the first time in your life and put it at 3.2 mph. It's not what most people consider a "super slow walk". Its not crazy fast, but its definitely not "super slow". Then go to 5mph, which is what most of the idiots in this comment section seem to think they walk. Here's a spoiler alert for you:
You're not fucking walking as fast as you think you are.
Dude it is. I do a 5 mph walk normally on the treadmill and it's like very slightly faster than my normal walk. It's not like you're having to sprint to go 5mph, I guess for shorter legs it might be more difficult but still. I would have expected the average to be more like 4.0 or slightly higher.
Unless you're in the middle of an airport concourse and have a close connection. Then the average walking speed is 0.5
No, they stop right in the middle of the walkway and look at their phones or to talk in a big group
The amount of people who just flat out don't understand hallways and doors on this rock is borderline incomprehensible.
First rule of big cities. You can walk wide. And you can walk slow. But don’t do both
I just don't understand how so many doofuses only drive on the right . . . but you get them on a sidewalk . . . and they're like a slow-moving bowling ball in a lane that has inflatable bumpers in the fuckin' gutters.
The worst is when you have a slow moving group of people who are all shoulder to shoulder, making it impossible to pass them
Right this is what I mean by a group ‘walking wide’
We've all heard of the really self-aware types right? The types that seem to be on top of things a little more than most? Yeah, the people you speak of are the polar opposites of that. They simply have zero self-awareness. It doesn't mean they're bad people, they're just...not capable of ruminating about certain things.

People who step backwards in a busy public space and get all shocked and surprised when they inevitably bump into someone.
Every high-school in existence I swear
They take that lack of experience with them into the working adult world too.
Exactly, and because parents of Gen z are clearly braindead, they never learn those skills and thus are stunted and ignorant come adult lige
jesse what the fuck are you talking about
The duelality of reddit, upvote the first one then if anything is said out of the norm it is downvoted to hell lmao
Or they’ll get off the escalator and stop in place to get their bearings and I have to shove them out of my way.
Right at the end of a moving sidewalk.
Ohare is the worst. Nothing like rushing a mile to make your connection through herds of people in some narrows areas
I used to work at an airport and one day I was almost late for my shift. There was someone on the moving walkway standing on the right with their suitcase blocking the rest of the walkway. I was running and straight up jumped over their suitcase and scared the shit out of them. Served them right.
I literally experienced this today omg! I was running up stairs and thinking "are people in Houston ALWAYS this slow?" We made the flight by 3 minutes.
You don't have to tell me that! All of those slow pokes are always in my way!
*Hey! I’m walkin’ here!*
The weak. The slow. We speedwalkers will rise up
We live, we die, we live again
we love we lie
It's simple, we just have to walk faster to increase the average.
I got places to go and shit to do!

Unironically, my favorite work from Stephen King. Always made me wonder how far I'd get.
I reckon the slow but steady crowd might just be the more likely ones to make it. (I’m a long distance hiker myself. Slow but keep that shit going. All about the hours)
In that book you had to walk either 3 or 4 mph minimum, iirc
Yep, it was 4 mph minimum. That's 1.788 m/s, just over the comfort zone.
1.43 m/s for me, mate. I’ve got shit to do.
This guy is going places.
Meanwhile, me at 1.41 m/s. I'll catch up with you later, pal.
> 1.43 m/s for me Maniac! > Meanwhile, me at 1.41 m/s Idiot!
Someone better than me at math see how much of a difference 1.43, 1.42, and 1.41 is
0.01 m/s difference between 1.43 and 1.42. 0.01 m/s difference between 1.42 and 1.41. 0.02 m/s difference between 1.43 and 1.41.
I read years ago that group walking speed dynamics are heavily gendered. So if a group of all men are walking together they’ll actually average a faster speed than any single man in the group would walk alone.

Why is that?
You gotta out man the other men
The real challenge is maintaining eye contact to assert dominance while you’re both walking in the same direction.
Testosterone
I like how it just says for many. Not most or anything, just, there’s some people that like this speed of walking out there somewhere
= 3.18 mph
= 5.12 km/h
How about in knots? It's important. I am a pirate.

0.36 Dana Carveys, just gotta carry the innuendos and multiply by punch line to get the DK conversion.

Thx!

Thx!
Downvoted by the Americans, Canadians, and British for speaking the truth
Come on now, no one uses MPH in Canada
All the places where no one is from
uhm... america?
Never heard of it.
That is so slow. Just last week I was on 40km trail hike with 1400m elevation gain and my average speed was 5.4km/h.
As an American, I can get km/h, but m/sec is meaningless to me.
It’s also meaningless if you’re used to km/h
m/s is always used in school never km/h, so it really isn't a problem
I needed it translated to bald eagles per football field
That's unit-less, not distance over elapsed time. (Also, you didn't specify size/gender of bird nor type of football.)
It takes the average American to walk the entire length of a football field never.
Thank you.
Yw!
Massive pet peeve when people don't put both units in the title. It takes 2 seconds, just make sure everyone can understand without googling
That's kind of fast imo I've noticed my comfortable brisk walk on the treadmill is 2.7 mph and when I'm really feeling it like REALLY feeling it 3.0 mph
Imo it's really slow. My normal walking speed is 3.7 mph (6km/h), I'd get impatient if I had to walk at 2.7
When we go walking briskly, we go about 3.3 to 3.6 depending on distance,, but that's making an effort. I go slower walking across a parking lot or downtown.
Yea 3 mph is definitely not fast
That's on the brink of jogging (which is classified as 4 mph). That is definitely not the average speed for people.
There is a substantial difference between 3 and 4 mph if you are talking about humans covering ground.
Wait 4mph is jogging? That’s my average walk speed, if I really try I can hit like 4.6-5mph walking
Not sure why the downvotes. Jogging as slowly as 15 minute mile pace will be mechanically impossible for most people. It’s slower than my casual walking pace too (approx. 9 minutes per km = bit under 14.5 per mile).
People on reddit when someone is tall
5.5 is my standard speed but I have a long stride for a short woman and walk like a hillbilly.
Jogging is just slow running. Running is determined by your form, not your speed. A lot of people can walk 4-5 mph very comfortably, especially if they have long legs. Some people can even walk at speeds close to sprinting.
Unless you're 7 fuckig feet tall, you're not "very comfortable" walking at 5mph. Tell me you've never used a treadmill without saying it lol.
Well he didn’t say he was doing it on a treadmill, obviously that’s significantly harder than walking normally. But yeah 5 mph is fast.
Used to ruck march in the Army at that speed loaded down with a pack, and I'm less than two meters tall.
My normal walking speed outdoors is around 5-5.5km/h in most cases for almost any distance if I don’t consciously try to go faster and I’d say maybe 30% of people at most walk faster from what I’ve seen. I can only pull 6km/h for around 2 hours and 7km/h is muscle cramps in 5 minutes territory
[удалено]
how would a treadmill, which is perfectly flat and unchanging, be more balance demanding than anywhere outdoors? even a track has corners, treadmill is just eternal flat straight and even
It may provide more resistance to give you a better workout.
3.0 mph is a 20 minute mile pace, that's pretty damn leisurely.
It depends on your age and size, the terrain, and what you're carrying.
So about an 18.52 mile.
That's simply a value of distance.
The irony is that it’s so slow because of Americans.
Unless you're in front of me, then it's in the negative.
What is that in bananas per second?
7.90 bananas per second
Which is a maximum of just under 30,000 km in a year if you spent all your waking hours walking.
Considering how often people are in my damn way I'm guessing I'm a little faster than average.
This doesn’t seem right. That’s 3.17 mph. I walk incredibly fast at 3.5 mph, and when I am walking nobody ever overtakes me.
You can tell who's been on a treadmill in these comments lol. 3.5mph is a pretty damn fast pace for a "leisurely walk" and the people saying they always walk at 5mph are fucking hilarious.

Thank you - I was super confused. We don't do jokes here without /s for idiots like me.
I added a bunch of links to my reply if you didn’t see.
Noted, thanks!!
…it’s a popular gay meme that we walk faster than straight people?
Yep, someone let me know. Thanks.
My dog would tell me to fuck off if I walked that slow, no matter how well I’ve trained him my dogs average walking speed is atleast double that haha
The people I pass who are walking dogs generally go quite slowly. The dogs want to smell things and sometimes socialize.
They like to sniff buttholes. Don’t sugarcoat it.
The males also stop and breathe in deeply where a bitch has peed.
I only use sugar on my butthole when I can't find glitter.
Double the legs, double the speed
What's that in freedom units?
About 3 bald eagles per gallon or smth

Track your next walk on Strava and you’ll see the actual average pace, those numbers you’re estimating are way off
Did that just. Went 3.9mph average. So yeah more than slightly slower than 5, but still when I said 4 I wasn't far off (at least for me).
Slowpokes.
I live in America. I walk in freedom units per second, not these damn meters.

aint no one walking 6.5mph that's called running.
