Bring Your Message to Washington…By Bicycle!


image Brita Climate Ride will return for its fourth year this May 13-17, 2011, and will once again see hundreds of cyclists pedal beautiful country roads 300 miles from New York City to Washington, DC to raise awareness of renewable energy and the climate crisis. This “climate conference on wheels” and fully-supported adventure raises funds for a collection of nine hardworking non-profits including 350.org, Washington Area Bicyclist Coalition, Green America, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and 1Sky. Brita Climate Ride is the first multi-day, multi-city charitable bicycle ride to address climate change and renewable energy issues.  The event also endeavors to showcase the bicycle as the ultimate carbon-free machine and a viable form of transportation. Climate Ride will also return to California on October 2-6, 2011. This gorgeous 5-day, 320-mile ride along California's spectacular coast begins in the Redwood Empire near Eureka and finishes across the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco. Participants can currently register for either ride online at www.climateride.org.

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.
