It was born out of my sister’s asking my mother how she was getting somewhere. Car? Taxi? Subway? Bus? “No. 11,” she said, tapping each leg. It is still one of the funnier jokes I’ve heard. I am from a family of walkers and New Yorkers — the two identities feeling almost interchangeable at times. I embody the cliché of the Queens native who has never driven a car, attempted to get a driver’s license or even stepped inside a D.M.V. Why climb inside a vehicle stinking of gas and hot upholstery, a symbol of some of [the more depressing](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRngRuGP0TwaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudm94LmNvbS9mZWF0dXJlcy8yMzE5MTUyNy91cmJhbi1wbGFubmluZy1mcmllbmRzaGlwLWhvdXN0b24tY2Fycy1sb25lbGluZXNzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjQwMTEwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExMjE0NSZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTQ3NjUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmWdhpaeZWyGYbJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) side effects of the American dream, when I can just walk?

He follows in a long tradition of thinkers who have written about walking — some of whom he cites in his piece, like Friedrich Nietzsche, Jane Jacobs and, of course, Baudelaire — and how instrumental it was to their vivid inner worlds. Sachdev feels similarly: He writes that he “cannot finish an essay if it hasn’t been aired out over 30 blocks.” Sachdev’s essay is a call to protect not only the walker but also the wanderer, or in high literary-speak, the flâneur. If you identify as one of them, keep walking — and keep your head up.
