Well, I suppose there _is_ merit in that, since not using it for
cycling, will mean more journeys by motor vehicle, and therefore an
increase in the carnage that is known to be caused by that means of
transport.

For every pound spent on cycling by the government, costs to the NHS
go down by four pounds, and another two pounds of other savings are
made.

If the aim was to get people exercising the solution is to make
cycling more difficult and encourage walking instead. Walking is a
far more effective form of exercise than utility cycling and costs
both the exerciser and government far less than using the less
effective bicycle would.

Throwing a few million into a dustbin is simply a way of silencing
some slightly annoying dim critics who live and dine in Islington, who
think life ends outside the M25 and cycling (on £5,000 bikes) is
pretty neat.

9 years ago a government report showed that the cost of inadequate
exercise to the NHS was 8,400,000,000 pounds a year.

Which has nothing at all to do with bicycling.

We need to bring our annual investment in cycling up to NL
levels,

Why?

Is cycling the only known form of exercise?

This petty change from the government is (apart from being money we
can't afford NOT to spend)

....says... who, precisely?

Psycholists think so. But then they would, wouldn't they? That's what you
get from a religion.

Maybe we should listen, apparently they earn more than the rest of us, and
are healthier than the rest of us.

Funny, I've never seen a match-fit multi-millionaire footballer turn up for
training or go shopping on a bike. The only rich and healthy sports people
I've ever seen on bikes are the ones who *have* to ride them.

What other form of exercise saves you time and money instead of
costing either one or the other?
