But how many children still cycle to school? Cycling may have been normal when you were a child, but less than 2% of kids do it now (and of those 1.6% or whatever it is, what are the odds that they do it all year round even through the winter solstice?)
OK, it would be good if kids cycled more, but at the moment, it's a pretty rare thing to do. One of the many many things that has changed.
(I am too young to remember year-round BST, but I still had to go to and from school in the dark in the winter, because I lived in a rural area and school was just a long way away.)
