The southern us doesn’t even walk, much less bike. The car infrastructure down here seems insane, but you literally do get covered in sweat walking from your car to a building. The southern us is not good for the outdoors due to weather, and because no one bikes/walks the infrastructure is horrible.

(I’m in Tennessee on vacation, walking everywhere. Many sidewalks just end, no crosswalks, etc. biking here would be dangerous)

Knoxville and Nashville have walkable potential in the core, and of course Asheville, NC, but outside of that, the south is as you said very pedestrian unfriendly.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas, the city of Richardson is very bike- and pedestrian-friendly. The area around the Univ of Texas at Dallas is especially so.

Oddly enough I’m in Chattanooga and going to Knoxville tomorrow. I’ll find out :)

I highly recommend the UT Gardens, the Sunsphere, Remedy Coffee, and Yassin’s Falafel House if you’re looking for suggestions. Enjoy!

Excellent, thank you!
