Some Highlights of Midday with Dan Rodricks

I tuned in time to hear Carol Silldorff of Bike Maryland explaining the advantages to biking to work "You get to eat more." Which was met with a lot of affirmation.
"How far is doable ride to work?" So Carol starts off with stating 20 miles, wonderful way to get attention to the fact that if you are fit, average distances by car are doable by bike. She did go on to qualify the more average distances and more realistic starting goals like biking to the store which is typically only 2 or 3 miles and everyone should be able to do that.

Fern Shen of Baltimore Brew highlight was fielding some question from a [old?] grumpy motorist complaining something about some cyclist while not riding in his way was able to pass him up in his car. In a wonderful upbeat voice she explains her ride over to the studios in a lawful manner and concluded "We are on the same side buddy."

Nate Evans the City’s Bike/ped Planner road his bike over to the studios from work, cool! He wasn’t really given a question where he could shine and some questions came really close to "Why aren’t you doing more?" Which is really unfair as it is our job as citizens to empower Nate to do more.
