Not only did Mayor Sheila Dixon kick off Bike to work week she also announced that bikes are now allowed on the Inner Harbor Promenade from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and to 11:00 a.m. on Sunday (special thanks to Eva Khoury for making this happen.)

When the ride was supposed to be over Mayor Sheila Dixon said she was just getting warmed up and started off to Fort McHenry. At this point some of the riders turn back to City Hall and others tried to keep pace with the Mayor. I also want to give special credit to those who were in the rear for their determination to finish the ride and their commitment to healthily life style choices (or was it just because they were out of the office having fun? We may never know for sure.)

Special thanks to Broadway Bikes and Light Street Cycles for their support!!!

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.
