Please Sir, can we have this here?

While I appreciate the efforts to have bike "safe" grates so no one seriously injures themselves but still drains not level with the road surface or poor pavement quality around the drain (almost always happens in a short time span) really cannot be called bike friendly, so hazard markings like shown and described in AASHTO should be applied. But sadly I know of no place in Maryland were such a treatment can be found, what's up with that anyway?

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.
