Bicycles, Rolling Stops, and the Idaho Stop


Ever wounder why pedestrians are not required to come to a complete stop at stop signs? Shouldn't they be required to sit down just like a cyclists is required to put a foot down at stop signs? And what about cars? If stopping means the complete cessation of movement shouldn't they be required to turn off their motors because any conservation of momentum that would allow a fast start is bad?

If these things sound ridiculous so is requiring a cyclists to put there foot down, see the link and video for a good presentation. <a href="http://vimeo.com/4140910">http://vimeo.com/4140910</a>;

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.
