Ride a bike and get fit!

So yesterday I retweeted about kids biking to school. Following up on this topic, I came across a video from Trek's CEO John Burke talking about Trek's 1 World, 2 Wheels initiative. He posted an interesting stat;

In 1964, 50% of kids biked to school and the obesity rate was 12%.
In 2004, 3% of kids biked to school and the obesity rate was 45%.
