Dangerous Grate: Hampton Inn Elkridge Landing Rd Linthicum, MD

Update: This grate should be fixed soon. Ref: <a href="http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20121129120407433">http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20121129120407433</a>;

[B' Spokes: I'm not sure who to forward this too, anyone have any ideas?]
****************************************************************************************
There is a drain grate situated between the Hampton Inn and Red Roof Inn on Elkridge Landing Rd that has gaps parallel to the direction of travel and wide enough for a bicycle wheel to fall in to. All other grates on this section of Elkridge Landing are configured to be bicycle safe. Numerous bike commuters heading to the NSA or other office facilities in this area in heavy traffic each morning have to swerve in to traffic to avoid the grate. As there is no shoulder this presents a significant hazzard.

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.

I'll note that Carol from Bike Maryland (http://bikemd.org/page.php?id=1 ) has taken on the challenge of trying to find the person who can fix this. I've been copied on a lot of emails and I hope we are getting closer.
