From the MBPAC meeting minuets:

2010 Legislative Session

Patrick Sheehan moved and Greg seconded a motion that MBPAC support the following bills introduced in the 2009 legislative session but not enacted into law in the event these bills are reintroduced in 2010. They were HB 97, Manslaughter by Vehicle, SB 428, Three Foot Bicycle Safety and HB 152, Arrest for Leaving Accident Scene Involving Injury. Marci, Janet, Michael Mason, Ann and Cari abstained and no one opposed it.

Another motion was to support HB 1197, which would remove the requirement that bicyclists must use shoulders when available. The motion passed with no objections but abstentions were recorded from Marci, Janet Michael Mason, Ann, Cari and Vincent Browne. <a href="http://www.mdot.state.md.us/Planning/Bicycle/8_13_09_Draft_MBPAC_Meeting_Minutes.pdf">http://www.mdot.state.md.us/Planning/Bicycle/8_13_09_Draft_MBPAC_Meeting_Minutes.pdf</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.
