Too many people can't walk to the pub, shops, school, doctors or to see friends of family because there is no safe way to go.

This!
Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

In case of interest, here's a link to the conversation I had a few years back with @treesacrowd.bsky.social's David Oakes, who has the rare skill of making you feel so comfortable that you forget he's recording the conversation!
