I'm the guy that was at the bike symposium in Annapolis, so sick of the car culture. I say tax that gas to 10.00 per gallon and use the revenue to build pedestrian friendly infrastructure.
I'm heading out to Charles St. for the Peace rally 4-6 anywhere between the Harbor and the beltway. Anybody want to meet up, ride up and down Charles?
I am in love with my Xtracycle, basically it can do 90% of the stuff you use a car for, from groceries to hauling kids around. Try Trader Joes on Reisterstown, coming in the back way is nice, a few hills but nice. That's something else that the Xtracycle changed for me, I used to go to the closest store but now I mostly go further out for nicer routes, time to chill or just to spin a bit longer. It's hard to describe the feeling of doing a utility/joy ride.
I'm not sure what I'll be doing latter but a ride/peace rally sounds fun, if you'll have cell phone with PM me the number and if I can make it or in the neighborhood, I'll call.
