Re: AYRT

I might also chime in with the "agree wholeheartedly," but with this added perspective. The country's infrastructure, by and large, isn't set up to encourage physical activity in movement beyond driving.

I grew up in Texas, although for right now I'm living in California. Lovely state. I can get Shiner Bock out here.

Anyway it really struck me when I came out here to California that, holy God, there are WALKING PATHS and BIKE LANES. It was a new thing to me. And you know what? People use them. There's bike lanes on the highway. In Austin, to be sure, they have things like that, but Austin is not the norm. I'm from Dallas, and that city (actually, the whole Metroplex, which is DFW)? Has nothing by way of public transportation (well; there is, but it's definitely associated with use by people with lower income) and nothing for people who actually want to walk. Everything is very spread out, and zoned so that people have far less incentive to bother walking when it will take an hour to get there--and then another hour to carry stuff back with you isn't appealing either.

So people don't walk or bike. They just eat out a lot and drive everywhere. And there are a lot of people in Texas who simply think they'd be useless gestures and no one would use them.
