HELP: Bike Commuting Project

This request came in from one of the local lists and since this needs to be done before Feb 09 I thought I would help to promote the request here.
I would like assistance in putting together a display for this Friday Bike/Ped Symposium in Annapolis. The event last year focused on bike paths and recreation, but did not have much on bike commuting and I would like to create a display highlighting bike commuters.

I would like to put together a quick display of bike commuters from around MD. If you are a bike commuter, please take the time to email me with the following: First Name:

Bike Use: Commute to work, small trips to store, church, meetings, etc. 50% of my travel

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 those of you who submitted comments thanks! Stephen had a great display with a poster sized write up for each of the various commuter profiles as well as his ultra cool touring/utility bike setup on display and other cycling gear. He rides a recumbent with two sets of panniers (one set conveniently located next to the seat) rear trunk and rack and a burly trailer.
