huge topic:Americans keep getting fatter

Ok I calmed down. In a sense the neihbors are right. It is illegal to rode bikes on the sidewalk. People dint know this so they usually yell at me get on the sidewalk. It is much mote dangerous to rode on the sidewalk because of pedestrians and also harder to see cars backing out. Bikes belong in the streets generally. Course they wouldn’t be happy w yr kids in the st either. Lots of accidents on crowded bike paths with unfocussed riders too. Saw a couple accidents on Newport path recently. I don’t know. The wprld is no longer constructed for humans to be healthy particularly kids

Thanks, jpinpb. We’re trying to do our part to get kids out on the street playing again. Maybe we’re just too nostalgic. 😉

Brian,

We don’t live in an HOA community, and refuse to do so specifically because of the “big brother” problems (old, retired folks who have nothing better to do but walk around with clipboards looking for “violations”).

Scaredy,

You’re right about the bike laws, but our kids are 4, 7, and 8. Our street is a fairly busy through street, so the sidewalk is much safer here.

This is a microcosm of the 50% obesity rate that OCrenter predicted.

If we include the overweight but not yet obese, I believe that we are well past 50% already.

The national obesity rate for adults is 24 percent; in Manchester and surrounding Clay County, it’s been estimated to be as high as 52 percent. In a study of the healthiness of Kentucky’s 120 counties, Clay County ranked dead last, with 41 percent of the population classified as in poor or fair health.

because there are so few people walking on sidewalks, cars arent loking for people riding bikes when pulling out; they’re already looking out toward the street. the sidewalk is probably no safer than the street.
