Focus on Bicycles & Pedestrians for good Health

25 November, 2009

I’ve seen this come across my screen a few times today.  An article in the British medical journal, The Lancet, is one of the first well respected publications to call “green cars” for what they are and to call for a focus on Bicycles & Pedestrians as the only healthy and best use of our transportation funding.  Further, it calls for policy makers to focus primarily on those means of transportation, even to the detriment of those who chose to drive.  Additionally, the director of the World Health Organization, Dr. Margaret Chan, followed the article with  a commentary voicing her unbridled support.  To read a more eloquent account, visit Copenhagenize and read Mikael’s take on it.  Ready the full article here.  Keep riding, and have a great Thanksgiving.
