My sister pays for a taxi between my parents place and hers (only 1.5 miles away) despite us having piles of bikes ready to roll. She like riding bikes and she likes walking. But she gets so much grief just like all the women here are describing. Sleazy guys in cars wanting to chat, random vulgar comments and such. She was also once attacked on the same route, but luckily managed to shake them off and escape.
This is in a fairly middle class suburb of birmingham which is one of the most sought after and expensive places to live in the city.
