3.2 mph walking/ pushing is EASIER than 4 or 5 wizzing.
Absolutely nothing wrong with walking if thats your choice. However if you have to walk because you lack a granny or a bailout gear, that sucks. Not everyone has the legs to push an overloaded bike with road gears up steep hills. A simple trial run to verify your gearing matches your ability is just common sense, nothing more.
