[Note a lot of negative comments on the Herald's site.]

plan to make its streets more welcoming for bicycle riders.

The plan includes designated bike lanes, as well as roads that bicyclists and motorists would share.

A network of bike-friendly routes would help people who ride for recreation or transportation, a draft of the plan says.

The whole network could take years, as the city does a little at a time around road projects.

The city is asking for public input on the proposed plan. A public hearing will be held Thursday at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
... What: Public hearing on Hagerstown’s draft bicycle master plan

When: Thursday, 7 p.m.

Where: Hagerstown City Hall, council chambers, second floor

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.
