Thursday: if people could fly like superman

A few days ago on my walk I contemplated what it would be like if people could fly like superman. Well, like superman meaning no wings. Probably a speed of about 25 mph would be like an easy walk.

Would there be such a "global economy"? Because if 25 mph is an easy distance to fly, there might not be the need for such a big transportation infrastructure.

Would people be in better shape? You can fly farther faster than walking, so maybe. This might depend on the road system and if that is even an option.

How would movement of goods work? It seems like we would either need a clever thing to carry/pull around with us while we fly or...vehicles. Wow, it all comes back to vehicles and roads.
