Pedestrianity is a sub relgious belief which main principle is a strong conviction that man is neither made for nor should travel in any other way than by the means of his own two feet.
The movement originated 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark by a, at the time, 26 year old Jewish man by the name; Mikkel Troelst Kaarsbøl.
In Kaarsbøl's own writings he describes the very evening for when he has his revelation.
He was tricked into sharing a taxi with a unemployed blacksmith from his hometown, Hillerød.
In his writings Kaarsbøl describes how he, in the taxi, felt an "overwhelming discomfort by the thought of the economic expences he would suffer to the taxidriver." And how "the whole setting was planed for him to feel the worst kind of
social discomfort that any other jew in the history of jews." Here he also dedicates 3 chapters to how
disgustingly bad music the driver chose to play in the taxi.
But the defining moment for his revelation was when a
divine intervention made him shit his pants in the taxi. He now knew, that for the rest of his life he would now only travel by foot - "as it was intended from since the dawn of jews" After the experience he founded the religion that now is known as Pedestrianity. It is estimated that Pedestrianity has roughly 24.000
religious followers around the globe.
