New Baltimore Bicycling Advocacy Group in the Works


Via Baltimore Velo


A few weeks ago, preliminary plans were drawn out to create a dynamic new bicycle advocacy group for Baltimore’s cycling community. Local bicyclists met with various people experienced in bicycling advocacy to discuss how the group will operate in years to come. Groups like Bike Maryland have done great work to make bicycling a more viable means of transportation in Baltimore, but it looks like theres a consensus that a new group could do a lot more on the ground and elsewhere.

As new bicycling infrastructure takes shape around the city, and the number of bicycle commuters continues to rise, a strong advocacy group will become more and more essential to educate detractors and head off those who campaign against safety improvements for bicyclists.

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.
