Walking is the first choice!
Especially for distances under 2km, walking or running is a great mode of transport - it's what we evolved to do.
No equipment needed and a great opportunity to meet neighbours, work colleagues etc.
For longer distances, walking is teh glue that makes public transport work, shops support their local community and re-connectsus with teh world.
I walk and cycle too so no disagreement about cycling being a great thing to do - just don't forget walking!
Here's where to get the bits and pieces ....

biking together as a family is great bonding as well. My kids love it when we go on a bike ride together. They love biking to school as well with their father or i biking with them.
