Riding his bike home from work at the Hampden restaurant Corner BYOB, Michael Cassidy took more than a nasty spill.

A wheel of Cassidy's bike hit a manhole or metal plate on lower Falls Road south of Woodberry Aug. 24, according to restaurant owner Cecille Fenix.

"He basically fell off his bike. He hit his head," Fenix said. "The doctors are trying to tell him to stay as motionless as possible," she said, until his injuries heal.

The 31-year-old waiter and head of the dining room staff, who has been on staff since last winter, fractured the occipital condyle bone at the lower back of his skull, millimeters from his spine, and also tore an artery that supplies oxygen to the brain.

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.
