The Surprising Risks of Playing It Safe

[Note I do not recommend not wearing a helmets for increased safety, if you are interested in increasing your safety while riding I provided a link at the end of the article. There is another link to a story by John Stossel (video) where he explores if Americans are worrying about the right things and for me the inference is how the media exaggerates how dangerous cycling really is.]

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
