Be careful out there folks and I'll note if you see suspicious activity examine all avoidance options including making a u-turn and riding against traffic for a bit.

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.

For years I wore a chain, bandoleer style, while bicycle-commuting between Johns Hopkins U and Highlandtown. All nasty comments and aggressive actions by pedestrians and drivers stopped during this time. That was in the 1970s. Before carrying the chain, I was run off the road by drivers and regularly yelled at by teens. The extra weight was worth it. I moved in 1980.
