10 year olds in the UK are being taught how and when to use the center of the lane


RIDING POSITIONS

Primary Position
* A position that is further out from the kerb, taking control of the entire width of the lane.
* Following traffic must stay behind or use the next lane to overtake.
* This position is used when passing road junctions and road narrowings, or when the cyclist wishes to discourage other traffic
from overtaking.

Secondary Position
* A position up to a metre away from the kerb, allowing traffic to pass in the same lane.

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.
