Bike Friendly Community Update

I learned yesterday from Bill Nesper at the League of American Bicyclists that Baltimore received an Honorable Mention as a Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC)!

This is an important designation highlighting our recent achievements to improve cycling conditions around Baltimore .

While communities may only apply every 4 years, Baltimore was granted an exception and encouraged to resubmit an application next year! With DOT’s planned bicycle improvements and lane mileage from Operation Orange Cone, Baltimore stands a very good chance at improving our BFC status.

Thanks to all for your contribution in helping make Baltimore a bike friendly community!

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.
