Driving to get fit
"They drove what to go where????"
I reckon one day, in Futurama World, archaeologists, sociologists and historians will be gobsmacked in wonderment at the concept of all these overweight and body-conscious people getting in their cars and driving to expensive franchised Emporiums Of Fitness in an attempt to counteract the effects of the car-based society they had created in the first place!
This is my gym at 6.57 am; the car park is packed, and as the "first shift" is leaving, the next is cruising for places to park.

I had a good laugh at this Sally, the more so as I have been guilty of this behaviour myself.
ReplyDeleteAren't we all, paul? This gym is an old BBC hardware store, and it's a real hike from any public transport. And on a road i wouldn't dare ride a bike down....not with Sydney traffic - narrow roads, fast driving and no room for a cyclist to make a mistake!
ReplyDeleteDear Sally,
ReplyDeleteDO you think future historians will be gobsmacked? I wish I could be that optimistic.I'm afraid they will just have gone further down that same path...
Fitness first???
ReplyDeleteWe got one of these club also there in Parma...and its located in a ex-airplane hangar (just next to the strange "accident scene" displayed in one of my last post).
