When I first saw the article title on digg I thought it was from theonion.com

~2mph is an average walking speed, 3mph is pretty fast, 5mph is essential power or speed walking or whatever you call it. Good luck "walking" 5mph.

Pretty sure you could easily walk 5mph, its a decent clip for a walk but I do it all the time according to my Forerunner. Bicycle would be double that.

You'd think a train would be more efficient?

Racist!

:awe:

I love China...keep buying up all the zinc and let me get that 30% bonus in 2011.

I concur.

For some reason I'm thinking it wouldn't be easy to walk 62 miles at 5 mph. Maybe I'm just crazy. Maybe.

it stretches 62 miles so at 5mph it would take them 20 hours+

62/5 = 12.4

Bicycle. Horse. Donkey. Mule. I'd jog the 62 miles.

Cheaper to pop it in neutral and push. Make a nice train out of it...

Lack of infrastructure is what will slow down growth in China and India for a little bit in the future.

Meanwhile, I think we need a tremendous amount of investment in ours over the next decade just to maintain what we have.

What is the definition of instructure?

Could it be infrastructure is what you are looking for?

Yeah, I skipped a couple of keys when typing fast.

It didn't really stop you from understanding what I meant, though.

Good news! Traffic is gone now.

"Epic" traffic jam averted.

It's always nice to see a history lesson of how our ancestors lived in the present tense.
