Biking/Walking Trails = Public Health
This was something I didn't consider to be very Public Health related until a semester ago: bike trails. But the more I think about it the more I think, "Of course this is Public Health!" Biking/walking trails provide a safe place for people to spend time outside as well as provide an alternate mode of transportation for them to get to their destination. In addition, these trails are a great way to build social capitol. You encounter a lot of people in the trails and this allows time to interact and socialize with members of the community.
