I started walking/ride bikes to school in about grade 3 or so.

Personal story: I lived up near John Laurie Bvd on Nose Hill and went to Banff Trail/Branton/Aberhart. This meant walking down 19th st, into what is officially "Canmore Park" but we always thought of as the Western end of Confederation Park, and then up the hill and on to whichever school.

We did this rain, snow, sleet, hail ... if you're following, that's down a hill, across a valley, and up a goddamn hill again. My brother, sister, and I actually did walk to school in the snow, uphill, both ways.

And the hill was always at the end.
