It is interesting that the report is focusing on cycling in different age groups. The law seems to have created a generation that does not cycle and implies direct correlation to the health of this generation.
From the article:
"It is noteworthy when analysing the decline in New Zealand child cycling to consider Changes in body mass index in 11-12-year-old children in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand (1989-2000) which found a 9.2% increase in BMI during the 12 years, with the risk of overweight being 2.2 times greater in 2000 than 1989 and the risk of obesity being 3.8 times greater. By 2006/07, one in five New Zealand children were overweight and 8.3% were obese."
