One more safer driver for SD- an email exchange

Email from me:

please do not speed on shore drive

especially at night when it's raining.

you might not have realized it but you flew past me like i was parked a few minutes ago.

thank you.

The reply:

Sorry Tim, not an excuse, but it had been long day. Didn't realize I was speeding, that being the case, obviously I wasn't paying proper attention. Thanks for the reminder!

Sincerely,

XXXXXX

This person was driving a vehicle with their website, business, etc posted all over it.
I assumed they didn't realize how fast they were driving so I emailed them.

Please - everyone share the road safely!

Battling childhood obesity

From Hampton Roads Cyclist:

“Solving the Problem of Childhood Obesity Within a Generation” is a sobering report to say the least.

From CDC Transportation Recommendations:

# Physical activity and active transportation have declined compared to previous generations. The lack of physical activity is a major contributor to the steady rise in rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, stroke and other chronic health conditions in the United States.
# Motor vehicle crashes continue to be the leading cause of injury-related death for many age groups. Pedestrians and bicyclists are at an even greater risk of death from crashes than those who travel by motor vehicles.
# Many Americans view walking and bicycling within their communities as unsafe because of traffic and the lack of sidewalks, crosswalks, and bicycle facilities.
