Baltimore has just over 1,000 bike commuters and to some that is just not a significant number so why accommodate bikes. So I searched the internet for some sort of visualization of how significant a 1,000 cars (which would be the result if we forced directly or indirectly bikes off the road.) And I found this really good machinima of a racing sim with a 1,000 cars. Is this what the roads would look like if we were forced to drive instead of ride our bikes? (Maybe I should phrase that better but still that <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=12321">http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=12321</a>;

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.
