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.

Transportation funding panel wants 2011 action
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/traffic/2011/01/transportation_funding_panel_w.html

"Transportation Secretary Beverly Swaim-Staley said it would take a 7-cent increase in the gas tax simply to make up for the money lost to the trust fund in sales tax revenue. That would mean a 10-cent increase supported by some transportation advocates would yield only a net gain of a little more than $100 million for transportation -- a fraction of the state's identified needs. Swaim-Staley questioned whether the 20-cent gas tax increase needed to raise $650 million would be politically feasible. "
