Obesity is rising - why don't the parents and their children walk/cycle to school - its great foe socializing and their excersize.

Why does it always have to be car car car...in the car...?

there is so much traffic - they/you are the traffic...

So please think about walking or cycling to school/work....or anywhere

I totaly agree with you. I live about 1 mile away from my job and I often walk. Lots of people say I'm crazy, I say I'm smart and healthy. You not only save gas but also save yourself a spot from being lazy and obese.

i guess they're too lazy.

kudos to you :)

i go to boarding school... my room is about 50 metres from my locker

so you could say i walk to school :D

I walk to school once a week and I don't mind doing it in winter. But here in Australia I could die from dehydration before I even got half way to school. I am also on principle lazy and like to avoid strenuous bodily movement of any type at all cost.

In the present day, urban spraw is occuring through cities (Cities growing outwards). This may make it difficult to travel long distances to go to work or school by walking/cycling. Most major roads don't have bikeways (Most drivers see cyclists as a road hazard and slows down traffic).

Personally my school is about 16km away, which is quite far to walk each morning and after school, riding also takes a while and drains all your energy after your reach your destination.

When I go to work, I mostly get a lift. However because it's only about 3km's away I bike ride sometimes.

The main reason I don't ride my bike there is that, after riding you get really really tired and it's quite nasty to see that you have to work 9 hours when your already super tired after a ride.

Most people use cars because it's just plain simple easy. It's the fastest way to get from point A to B without completely exhausting yourself.

it sucks for ppl in suburbs who really DONT have the choice. we HAVE to use cars things are spaced too far apart for walking. i wish i lived in a city where i COULD walk to my work or to school. i could just walk around my neighborhood, but since i dont HAVE to i dont, sad, i know.

I agree with you. I would love to walk to school, but i live a mile away from the school and i would be crossing a very dangerous road in my area in which my mom would NEVER let me cross.
