ZD: granted, because it’s hilly and sometimes cold etc. walking is not always easy. My point was that there are options, one of them walking, and it’s not as bleak as it may seem to the misinformed. And walking is healthy exercise, which you should be all for, since you love to complain about unhealthy “Ashkenazi Jewish” food and lack of exercise.
What exactly does “in yichud” mean? Do you mean violating yichud or simply in one car with a man? Traveling during daylight hours with no darkly tinted windows in a populated area alone with a man does not constitute yichud.
