I am enjoying my read-alongs too! Although they are increasingly displaced -- I think Race, Class, and Politics is actually due back to the library soon, so I should get on that.
When I landed in Montreal last year I tried to set off walking from the airport toward the centre of the city, which was not only an impressive misunderstanding of scale (I didn't have maps! What was I thinking?) but also pretty much impossible. I could have followed a major road along a bike lane, but I retreated instead, thank goodness. I don't suppose it's actually true that there are sidewalks everywhere in cities in New Zealand, but still, I'm used to default walkability in a way I hadn't stopped to think about.
