Race car drivers urge motorists to be kind to cyclists

By Jim Haug, The Daytona Beach Journal

...
It might be not so surprising considering their love for speed, but many race car drivers also happen to be enthusiastic cyclists.

During a press conference by sponsored by Racers Who Ride, race car drivers urged motorists to give cyclists room on the road and reminded cyclists to respect the rules of the road.

Race car drivers “love going fast. It’s our profession, but there’s a time and place for it. We need to be courteous to one and another. We’re both allowed on the street together. At the end of the day, we’re all humans. It’s a human in the car. It’s a human on the bike. You need to respect one another and give each other room,” said Brad Jaeger, a Continental Tire Series driver who will be competing at the Speedway on Friday.

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.
