Healthier Austin

In Sedge Downing’s “Bikes” he makes a great argument. If gas prices are only going to soar why not find a way to help ourselves and the environment? Sure riding all the way across town would require a little time on the public transit system but over all cut emissions and pollutants that are in the air.
I think that it would cut obesity way down, and make Americans overall more fit and feel better doing it. It would help you shed pounds and keep you at a healthy weight. Even if you still eat junk, think about it would you ride your bike to get McDonald’s or would you rather cook at home and not have to ride anywhere else?
Of course it would take some changes on the cities part, but what a change it would be for the city. We are already a pretty healthy city; this could only make it better. An influx of income is just what the city needs and I think that doing something like this is just the ticket.
Good argument, good logic, exceptional ideas, good evidence, what more could you ask for?
