News Flash Straight From New Jersey Fish and Game….

“Black bears are the largest land mammal in New Jersey. They are an integral part of the state’s natural heritage and a vital component of healthy ecosystems.

Since the 1980s the Garden State’s black bear population has been increasing and expanding its range both southward and eastward from the forested areas of northwestern New Jersey. Within the most densely populated state in the nation, black bears are thriving and there are now confirmed bear sightings in all 21 of New Jersey’s counties.

In my daily quest to go green I often find myself putting 30-40 miles on the bike.  This past Friday we had 45 mile per hour winds, “Pay those winds no mind” I said “I am riding”…  It was a breezy commute in to the office to say the least and then from the office in Moorestown to North Third Street in Center City was a whole new adventure.  The bridge was Gusty as I have ever seen it, at one point I
