I'm not sure if this is shown anywhere other than the Seattle area but has anyone else seen the new Group Health TV commercial promoting cycling as a healthy acitivity? They've been showing it on major networks here during all times of the day.

Well, Group Health is a big supporter of cycling. They support the big cycling organisation around here (Cascade Bicycle Club) and they help sponsor rides such as the Seattle to Portland and the Ride Around Washington rides.

They have been promoting cycling in their web ads on www.king5.com and other places as well. The other Hospitals are starting to jump on the band wagon. Virginia Mason where mom is at has tons of bike parking and most of it is full during the daytime. No one uses the elevators either there is more traffic in the stairwells then in the elevators. U of W medical centers is offering biking and hiking seminars as well.

Well, it's about time the medical and insurance communities woke up to the fact that if they can get more people involved in regular cycling they can save huge money.

It always has seemed obvious to me.
