Nonviolent Transportation

But, to state what should be obvious, when you bike, you are responsible for less environmental destruction than you would be were you in a car. When you bike you are less of a participant in the politics and economics of petroleum and their violent foreign policy implications.

And then there’s the mere lethality of motor vehicles. I’m certainly glad that the homicidal customer currently in the shop will leave here on a bike — and not driving a one ton weapon.

I get to bike home now.

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.
