Kids these days

According to a new study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, kids are not riding their bikes to school--even when they live within a mile.

Even though one out of three American children live within a mile of their school, barely half of those students regularly bike or walk to class, researchers report. Children who live in the South, in rural areas or who have college-educated parents are among those least likely to bike or walk to school, notes the report, which is published in the July issue.

According to Pinch Flat News, that's completely lame. It also confirms our longstanding view that there are no bad people in the world, just bad parents. (Or possibly just overprotective, paranoid parents.)
