SHA math: 2 + 2 = 24

In Seat Pleasant, MD SHA is removing not one but two travel lanes (assuming 12' wide each) and giving us 2' wide bicycle lanes. Isn't that nice?

Seriously, 2' ??? Gee, I like getting whacked in the back of the head by a truck mirror as much as the next guy but...

What the heck happened to the recommended 5' for bike lanes? What happened to &quot;best engineering practices&quot; (as required by law)? (See: <a href="http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20111025010622931">http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20111025010622931</a>; )

One major point on how we got rid of mandatory shoulder use is because of substandard widths and now they want to give us mandatory use bike lanes that are substandard in width???

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.
