| A very good point on activity. There are lots of people for who Cycling or Escooting is never going to be practicable or possible, certainly on public roads. Just as there are those for whom Football, tennis or gold does not suit. But there is usually something for someone, that involves exercise, fresh air, social interaction -even distanced and so on and affordable and accessible. One example is Bowls. Which is even a Commonwealth Games sport. Can be played at any age. Is skilful in differing ways but not go-go-go aggressive. Yet we are seeing publicly accessible and affordable Bowls clubs in urban areas being forced out by local authorities and their cohorts in preference to high profit ventures. Gunnersbury Park Bowls Club is one of these. The support and interest is there but the ears of those who are purveying walk or cycle are somewhat rather hypocritically closed. |
