It is full of cars , the air is polluted and many streets are really crowded . fact , most people ? s idea of a hike consists walking down winding countryside paths , climbing mountains or strolling along a deserted beach . This , however , is not " city walkers " . They reckon cities are just good as the countryside , or maybe even more so . According to the English novelist Will Self , " if you walk in the town or city where you live you don ? t ( 6 ) the risk of getting stuck in a traffic jam , which is what happened to me last time we set for a nice country walk " . There is also the great convenience of cafés and bars where you can for a drink . Walking in the city , of course , is not new . In the 19th century , French artists would talk about the flâneur : a person who would wander around the city , not really going anywhere . They would look around them and observe people around them . This idea soon on and was imitated by artists in other countries . Nowadays , though , it seems you wouldn ? t see much apart from people staring down their phones . Nevertheless , it is still very interesting to walk around and get to know your city better ? as well as getting some exercise !
