People are generally lazy; even with thousands of km of bike paths in the Helsinki area, most people still drive around in cars. I don’t ever see cycling becoming more than a leisure activity in the UK www.theguardian.com/news/2025/de...

Having been born on this day in 1957, I am somewhat susceptible to tv adverts we see at this time of year, ones that use the festivities of the 1970s as a means of evoking nostalgia for Christmases gone by. I think this one may have gone a bit too far however.
