SLC Bike Articles
Couple of bike-related articles in today's (6/16) Salt Lake Tribune: http://www.sltrib.com/outdoors/ci_2804980 http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_2805159 I gotta admit I'd like to meet a couple of the people profiled in the first article. These links will probably work for about a week. Bill __o | I used to think that I was cool, running around on fossil fuel _`\(,_ | Until I saw what I was doing was driving down the road to ruin.

Downtown SLC is a nightmare of distraction for motorists. They have
the widest streets in the USA, 3 lane ea. dir. Safety studies show that a street in excess of 30 feet degrades visibility, reaction time and safety. In the middle of their streets they run Trolley service, 2 tracks w/ 12" concrete separation curbs. I wouldn't ride on SLC streets for safety reasons. I lived in SLC for 10 yrs. |

I've only ridden downtown once, when I was a new rider last summer.
I'm not too ashamed to admit that I rode slowly on the sidewalks. No one could feel safe riding those streets. It is heartening though that last summer the police undertook a campaign to enforce pedestrian rights in crosswalks, ticketing those who failed to yeild to peds. |
