County Ped/Bike Group Hears Community Suggestions

B' Spokes: Great post on Bmore Bikes: <a href="http://www.bmorebikes.com/county-pedbike-group-hears-community-suggestions/">http://www.bmorebikes.com/county-pedbike-group-hears-community-suggestions/</a>;

What caught my eye:
&quot;All these projects will have limited county funding for studies, design or construction. Baltimore County intends to apply for Recreation Trails funding...&quot;

Sorry but Maryland differs greatly from federal guidance and what other states are doing, each project can only get $30K max of ~$100K we get each year. This is purely a Maryland made up rule. (Yah they can do that but why?) But more importantly who do we talk to get this changed? My impression is no one knows who is in charge of this and this is the way it always has been done so we are stuck with it.

So if you are interested in seeing where a $100k goes see: <a href="http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20120912021430852">http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20120912021430852</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.
