Surprisingly, few research studies exist that focus on frequent walkers. Derek Christie is a researcher in EPFL’s Urban Sociology Laboratory who decided to study this population for his thesis paper. He presented his ideas on April 20, 2018.

He discovered that nearly all participants had chosen to start walking more at the same time as another change in lifestyle. His paper shows how the use of devices like smartphone apps or pedometers often played a decisive role in a participant’s decision to walk.

Roadside assistance memberships mean teen drivers have access to help in their hour of need – even if that hour is 2:00 am. Choose programs wisely and look for those that offer full-service solutions that include things like battery services, gas services, and towing if necessary.
