Petrol prices too much? Walkit!
I’ve held off publicising Walkit for a while, because the founder is a friend of mine. But since the site is getting lots of well-earned publicity I’m happy to chip in. Walkit is a website that will work out walking routes across London and several other British cities (Edinburgh, Birmingham, Newcastle, and others - with more on the way). It will calculate your calorie burn and your CO2 emissions saved and all sorts of nonsense, but basically it finds good, low-pollution routes with realistic journey times. Check it out: some urban journeys are surprisingly quick by foot, and far less stressful than public transport or car.
