Health experts say that walking is one of the simplest forms of exercise.

• Lack of proper footpaths in cities

Today footpaths in our cities are either disappearing or poorly designed.

In many places there is no proper space for people to walk or ride bicycles safely.

• Unsafe and poorly designed footpaths

Around the world footpaths are built at a suitable height so that children elderly people and others can walk easily.

But in our country footpaths are often too high and not user friendly making it difficult especially for older people to walk comfortably.

• Increasing dependence on vehicles

We have become more dependent on motorcycles and cars.

Now many homes have more than one vehicle.

In the past children used to walk to school.

If several children lived in the same area they would travel together in one vehicle.

Today, the situation has completely changed. Even if schools are nearby children go by car.

However cycling is not only a great form of exercise but also a simple way to manage daily tasks.
