Nah...but..... When I were a lad, back in the day, etcetc.... and it never did me no harm!!! A little more positive encouragement into cycling, a little less negative 'dangerous pastime' publicity would go a long way to helping alleviate both of these issues. If kids are encouraged to cycle, a natural level of fitness is achieved. Once kids are fit(ter), then they take up interests in other sports / pastimes. cheers, Dave.... heightened levels of naivety and innocence are my objectives....mate!

Encouraging people to walk would be a start! But yes, I agree.

Agreed!...For about ten years I only walked as far as once around the supermarket for the once a week shop prior to losing my driving licence for six months back in '99. Since then I've realised I need to make a little more effort for my own levels of well-being. I've packed the job in, so the company car and excessive mileage / hours have gone. I'm now working at a leisure centre where I can get free use of the facilities. It's within stumbling distance of home and part-time. I get plenty of time for cycling, swimming and climbing. All of this is a great leap from where I spent the last 23 years (in an office, rat-race, 9-5 if I was lucky) and I have to say, I feel better for it. My wife's a bit nervous about the reduced income, but hey, who knows?...I might be able to combine the two, be a bit creative and tap into some of that funding for encouraging local youth to take up sporting past-times ;-) cheers, Dave.
