Culture of Fear [video]


[B' Spokes: While the topic of this video is not something I focus on in this blog but it does get into relative risk at the 45:00 mark, which is something I have touched on in the past. I would love to see agents of the US stationed at fast food drive through to prevent unnecessary deaths or how about TSA pat downs before we get into our cars? Anyway I would love to see something like this done to show how the real risk of cycling is not any where near the perceived risk that society thinks it is.]

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.

Unfortunately, this video has been removed before I had a chance to watch it. I'm very interested - are there any other sources on the web? I wasn't able to find it when I did a quick search a moment ago.
It looks like it was an unsanctioned upload of the BBC documentary. You can get a tiny glimpse of a few bits of the section I was talking about here: http://youtu.be/jbBKpdPV6IY at the 0:44 second mark (soldier standing by the fast food menu.)
