which was made worse by the road outside our estate being frequently muddy - I realised that the slightest bit of wetness and cycling would mean that my trousers would be covered in muddy splats if I cycled in - not a good look for a teacher!!!

Evidence of this, if evidence was needed, is clearly seen during my commute when I see quite a few people 'commuting' to work on an industrial estate I pass by and travelling on mid-sized e-scooters (A step up from the child/toy ones often seen being used by equally inactive youngsters). Surely any journey you may contemplate undertaking on one of these (1-2 miles?) would be doable on foot without the cost, risk and hassle of using a scooter, except that would mean having to do some activity under your own power?I think that's the problem though. People don't want to actually use their legs.
