Major cities around Britain are still lacking in proper cycling infrastructure and innovative thinking around cycling schemes, says the Faculty of Public Health (FPH).Brits would rather die than "exercise."
Dr John Middleton, Vice-President of UK Faculty of Public Health, comments:
"The cost of obesity to the nation is around one billion pounds and we have over 40,000 people dying from premature cardiovascular disease every year. With more and more people short on time to get their minimum 30 minute regular exercise five days a week, active travel is almost the ideal answer. If we made cycling to work or school the easy option, we could cut down on these depressing figures considerably.
Money down the drain.
Fools.
