KEEP MARYLAND SMART ON CLIMATE (by marginalizing bicycling???)


B' Spokes: Really, no mention of increasing bicycling in the plan? Shame on you. Our bicycle modal share is below average. The amount of state roads that meet the BLOC goal in the Attainment Report has remained unchanged and below the goal for decades (and the goal was set too low to begin with.) TOD with our really high pedestrian fatality rate, like that's going to work out well. Livable communities with no way to bike or walk out of them, another failure to see the big picture. Electric cars to the rescue? What's the biggest contributor to greenhouse gases? Again another failure to see the big picture. - Sign the petition and request more attention on bicycling.

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.
