Only because we structure our neighborhoods to require cars to do anything other than walk the dog.

And even then some folks need to drive to their dog walker.

I worked near a gym a few jobs ago. I would see people circling the block trying to get a “good parking spot” presumably so they didn’t have to walk very far to get their workout.

More likey to be people who want to minimize the amount of time they're walking alone to prevent victimization.

A personal data point: My wife and I used to live about 20 blocks from the gym we used. She would drive because of the vagrants and street people who would follow and harass women. Cycling wasn't an option because anyone who left their bike unattended would have it stolen.
