Vindicated!


[From the Potomac Peddlers List:]

Vindicated! The other day, a group of juveniles driving in a white Jeep Cherokee threw a large rock at me, while I was riding near Northern High in Owings. They also almost ran me off the road. The rock struck my elbow (hard!) and almost caused me to crash...I was going about 20mph. I managed to get the tag number and before my bubble-head brain forgot it, I grabbed my cell phone and entered it in as a phone number to help me remember amidst my angry haze.

When I returned home, I called the Sheriff's office to report the incident...but I really did not have much faith that anything would come of it. I just figured they'd say something like..." thank you, we will keep an eye out for any further incidents with a vehicle of that description". But no ...they actually sent an officer to my home, and he was very grateful and took a full report even though there was no obvious damage to my bike or myself. He said they would run the tag, go to the residence and somehow get the info they needed to follow through.

I got a call later that day saying they had found the individual (a 17-year-old) and were charging him!

So if something similar happens to you and you manage to get the tag #...go ahead and follow through on it!

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.
