Rails to Trails

I have been reading lots of magazines lately and this "Wheel Deal" caught my eye. There is an organization called Rails to Trails Conservancy which was started by some very respectable and smart people. They are converting old railroad lines into biking trails. Wow! I know this wouldn't be the first place you'd ride your cruiser bike but this is a novel concept for those who take riding a bit more seriously and want to get a good workout. Below is their mission:

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., whose mission it is to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors to build healthier places for healthier people.

I'm all about building healthier places for healthier people! Get out there and ride now!!!!
