I wouldn’t say it’s always comparable like that. I takes me twenty minutes to walk to work, but there is a 200 m elevation difference. I don’t walk back up home and take a bus instead, which does take a bit longer, but i think walking back up would still be easier than cycling.

Some of the pedestrian route isn’t really bike accessible too, as stairs are involved, there are alternative routes of course, but some can be considerably longer.

fair point. elevation is truly a bike killer. except for the electric bikes, but those are really heavy.
