Road Fatalities and Injuries Up Since 55 MPH Speed Limit Repealed

"The study found that over the 10-year period following the repeal of the National Maximum Speed Law, about 12,500 deaths took place due to the increased speed limits across the U.S."

It amazes me how society feels that going fast is more important then death. <a href="http://www.businessfleet.com/News/Story/2009/07/Road-Fatalities-and-Injuries-Up-Since-55-MPH-Speed-Limit-Repealed.aspx">http://www.businessfleet.com/News/Story/2009/07/Road-Fatalities-and-Injuries-Up-Since-55-MPH-Speed-Limit-Repealed.aspx</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.
