And surprisingly, they are not morbidly obese...

I saw this link posted on GORC's message board today. At first I thought, are you kidding me? Pedal up the hill like you're supposed to! Then I looked at the photos and realized two things. First, the people using the lift are overall in decent shape. No McFast food munchers here. Secondly, I realized without the lift a fair number of these folks might decide to drive a car, thereby getting them off of a bike seat. That's not a good thing. Perhaps we need more focus on how to we get people away from their unhealthy lifestyles. More bike paths, bike racks, pedestrian friendly environments. An interesting thought.
