Utility cycling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clearly one of the big problems we have is that most cycling is seen as a recreational activity. Clearly to have the big advantages and benefits we need to free ourselves of this view. The one thing we know about recreational activity is it is the use of disposable time. That means that if something intrudes into your normal schedule then you can lose the "habit". If we want the big health changes cycling offers then we need to have something that people do every day, and commuting is one of those activities we generally all do. Secondly the only way to have significant environmental benefits in terms of global warming, health risks from general pollution and traffic congestion, then it is in the realms of going from somewhere to somewhere that cycling as its biggest contribution has yet make.
