Default Cycling or Walking to School - Will Not Be Tolerated!

According to the Surgeon General, more than 12.5 million children --
17.1% of children and adolescents 2 to 19 years of age -- are
overweight in the U.S., up from 13 % in 1999.

So, one would expect schools to be encouraging students to exercise
more. Perhaps to even walk or bicycle to school. Hey, it could save
some energy ... even reduce CO2 emissions a bit.

One would be sadly mistaken...

Hey "Wild Bill", where have you been? Still riding FWD bikes with huge
Coroplast™ tailboxes?

They must be trained to be fat and stupid at an early age.

My own daughter is skinny but but unable to ride a bike for a couple
of miles.

Good thing she got her father's IQ.
