Microsoft Excel format (includes all my worksheets but I will note that I needed more time to do a better formating and labeling of the data.)

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.

donhaller- Your presentation was very interesting. I'm sure it raised a few eyebrows. I hope it helped some see how are roads and drivers are here in Maryland. I moved here from South Carolina in 2004 and was totally appalled by the total disregard for traffic laws and speeding. Also the almost total lack of enforcement in most areas. I have even become conditioned to it and find myself at times rolling with the crazies on Rt 50 and 495. I also live right off of Rt. 170 (Telegraph Rd. in Anne Arundel County) and know of at least four or five deaths on a small stretch of that road in the past two years involving both pedestrian and auto collision. The speed limit is 50mph there, which makes it more like 60 in a residential part of Telegraph Rd. When cycling, I have to ride Rt. 170 coming and going from my home, and I'm never really at ease on that road even with wide burms on each side in most places. I know this is only one road out of many, but how many more pedestrians, cyclists and drivers got to die before it becomes an issue worth dealing with.
