Why Don't Americans Walk More?

As a transplant in America for at least a few more months, articles like this no longer surprise me while still never ceasing to amaze me. I probably walk 30-60 minutes per day, and don't even own a car. I can't identify with commuter city life, though, so I can't cast any judgments on perennial drivers, only fail to understand how little people can manage to walk. The bank (hopefully) isn't that far away, etc.
