Bike trails pump $42M into Central Florida economy, study says

You know with Maryland having a bit of the East Coast Greenway you would think there would be more attention to completing that then there is. At least some attention on a bike crossing the Susquehanna River. But money is not directed to where needed or where it will make the nicest trail but simply who is will to pay the high 50% local match. Meanwhile federal grant money remains unspent.

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.
