Many people are impressed with Lance Armstrong but for me it is the average person who goes beyond their physical capabilities and challenges themselves with new goals. Some of you are aware that DOT at the request of the Mayor's office has been hosting bike rides from City Hall for the Mayor and her staff. One person stands out in these rides and that is our Director of Transportation Al Foxx. No matter how long a route we do (our last route was 20 miles) he insists on doing the whole thing.

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.

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.

Note edit change: I originally attributed the City Hall Bike rides to the Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Committee which has been corrected to: DOT at the request of the Mayor's office.
