Please take a moment to make a 2 minute call to promote bicycle safety!


From Carol Silldorff:

The 3 foot rule passed unanimously by the Senate requiring vehicles to give 3' of space when passing a bicyclist. However, without passing the House - this bill will not become law.

Your support matters. As a constituent, you can make a big difference. A one-minute call to your legislator is taken seriously -please take action now.

When you are riding a bike, do you want vehicles to give you a minimum of 3 feet when passing you on the road? Of course you do! If you live in the following Districts, please take a moment and contact your Delegate and ask that they support House Bill 461, the 3 foot rule, which is an important bicycle safety bill already in existence in over 20 other states. To view the bill go here: <a href="http://mlis.state.md.us/2010rs/billfile/hb0461.htm">http://mlis.state.md.us/2010rs/billfile/hb0461.htm</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.
