Trees Before Grand Prix


‎"The race has turned the downtown into what feels like a prison, with tall steel walls and concrete barriers everywhere. And without trees for shade and for beauty the city feels more oppresive. The beautiful downotwn, the gem of the city, is being turned into a racetrack. City planner Jane Jacobs pointed out that human scale cities work best, this is going in the opposite direction."

Oppose tree cutting and sign the petition (almost 4,000 now) <a href="http://www.change.org/petitions/trees-before-grand-prix">http://www.change.org/petitions/trees-before-grand-prix</a>;

To be fair the city says there will be more trees planted but the deal is not finalized: <a href="http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20110803211936335">http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20110803211936335</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.
