Man, 91, dies after Brooklyn mobility scooter crash


Man crossing lawfully in crosswalk and gets hit and killed by a Toyota Tundra truck "The investigation is continuing but police say they do not believe speed is a factor. No charges have been filed against the driver, according to police."

Seriously, police need to work on their safety PR, you don't need to be speeding or drunk to be charged for "failing to stop for pedestrian in a crosswalk."

&quot;Baltimore and the surrounding area seems to have no regard for crosswalks. Maybe the color needs to be changed from white to bright red.&quot; - Maryland Car Accident Blog <a href="http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2011-04-30/news/bs-md-ar-scooter-crash-20110430_1_truck-crashes-mobility-scooter-brooklyn">http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2011-04-30/news/bs-md-ar-scooter-crash-20110430_1_truck-crashes-mobility-scooter-brooklyn</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.
