exhalations

Another good article in the Post on the changing nature of traffic in this area, In the Car for Life. More and more of the traffic is caused by people driving 5 or fewer miles to run errands. So many of those trips could be taken by either walking or cycling. It seems so obvious that people could incorporate some exercise into their lives by reducing the trips they take by car.
“I suspect a long time ago, people didn't go running for exercise or go to the health club,” Saelens said. “They just had activity in their day. One reason we're struggling with obesity might be because we've taken out those opportunities” to walk [or bike].
