No idea why but it does. Same for water that's been through reverse osmosis. </p> Greenroofer on "“ ‘It’s a superpower’: how walking makes us healthier, happier and brainier”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19755#post-311620 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 15:57:44 +0000 Greenroofer 311620@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fudged up in the same way that 'Smart Water' (the drink, not the security product) is. We have truly lost our sense of what's right when we are being asked to buy plastic bottles of water made by distilling perfectly safe and palatable tap water then adding back electrolytes (presumably so it tastes of something) when there are people in the world with no clean water to drink. </p> Charlethepar on "“ ‘It’s a superpower’: how walking makes us healthier, happier and brainier”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19755#post-311597 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 08:30:10 +0000 Charlethepar 311597@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And in today's hot news - breathing is good for you.</p> <p>[ie how fudged up does our society has to be that it is newsworthy that walking is a good thing] </p> I were right about that saddle on "“ ‘It’s a superpower’: how walking makes us healthier, happier and brainier”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19755#post-311594 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 07:48:16 +0000 I were right about that saddle 311594@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Could we monetise this superpower like <a href="https://www.onepeloton.com">Peleton®</a> but for walking?

He has done well to churn out a book on Walking that is just about walking rather than hill walking etc. Tho doe have a chapter on Crossing The Road and of course Sleepwalking.
