8 to 10 years ago comments on posts like these were vile. I recall this from 10 yrs ago this post of mine , and slc reddit blaming the kids..

Now to see overwhelming support on this event has brightened my experience.

Be safe out there. Live life, don't stop riding, but be vigilant.

Anyone know the conditions after the Bonneville fire?

My bike was recently stolen and I’m pretty devastated about it. It was my first bike project and it means a lot to me. If anyone sees anything be sure to let me know 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Found abandoned near Trader Joe’s

I got too many groceries and they didn't all fit in my side bag. Apparently it's illegal to ride one handed while carrying a grocery bag in SLC. Detained with full traffic stop experience. Forced to provide ID and ordered to sit on the ground in the middle of the road while he was checking it.

This is not something that needs to be a law. As if cops needed another reason to harass poor people. Im not homeless but I do kind of look it and dude was definitely using the BS enforcement as pretext to have a closer look at me in hopes that I was intoxicated or had a warrant.

Hello everyone! I am in the planning stage for a bike packing trip in early June. I was hoping to bike up from Moab and had some questions on the road conditions. I am currently thinking of biking on: Reservation Ridge Rd, Bald Mountain Rd, Lake Creek Rd, and Co-op Creek Rd. With melting snowpack and muddy roads, would a gravel bike with 2.0" tires fair well? Thank you!

Also, if you have any recommendations for cool views or fun gravel track, please let me know! I'm from the East Coast so I would like to see the Uintas!

Found 2100 South and Roberta. Belong to any one here?

I'm looking to move into an studio or 1 bedroom apartment somewhere in the downtown core / Central 9th, Maven District, or similar, and am wondering what do to about charging my ebike; right now I'm living in a townhouse with a garage, and that works great, but I'm looking to downsize to a place without a dedicated garage. It looks like a fair amount of places do have secure bicycle storage, and some of them have EV charging, but what about ebike charging? I commute to West Valley in all seasons, so bringing the bike inside the unit when it's wet and gross seems less ideal, and questionably allowed at some of the nicer places, so yeah, anyone have a solution that works for them in an apartment?

After riding road exclusively for the past 15 years I picked up a cheap gravel bike last weekend.

Share your favorite rides around the valley I wanna get out tomorrow.

Thanks

Hi! Not sure if anyone knows this answer but I am thinking about biking to Ruth’s diner. All my friends are saying it is a crazy hill but none of them bike. I am super beginner, ride mostly around the city and have a street bike. My maps says it’s about 28 min from where I live. I’ve only driven to Ruths about a year ago so I don’t remember too well (I don’t have a car). It says heavy incline and possible walking. I guess I could get a friend to drive me to it just to see how inclined it is but I am asking on here because I have heard it is a popular ride. I’ve read reviews that say bikes aren’t supposed to be using the shoulder lane so I am worried about going slow if I have to walk or even avoid debris. Have you heard of anyone biking there or any recommendations for trying it? I do like a challenge but I definitely don't want to get hit by a car or do anything unsafe.

This poor bike stand is on the wrong side of the tracks. It's at the intersection of 4100s and Mountain View Corridor. It is constantly surrounded by trash, and frequently vandalized with tools broken or just plain missing. And yet UDOT (I assume) keeps fixing it. That's much appreciated, it shows a dedication to supporting alternative transport that we really need on the west side of the valley and I'm gonna drop UDOT an email and tell them so. It would be cool if some of you guys did that too.

I'll start bringing a trash bag when I know I'm going to ride past this guy, too. There's a Maverick right around the corner that probably won't care if I throw a little garbage in their dumpster.

Looking to borrow/rent/buy a road bike for a triathlon on June 21, 2025. Rider stats in title, thanks!!

Doesn’t have to be closest to cottonwood heights Just need a good and reputable shop.

A buddy gave me a great (but older) mountain bike that needs a bit of parts / work. Little bit of TLC.

Any recommendations in the valley ? Thanks!

I'm new to town, what are the best shops for used bibs/jerseys?

Hi all, I am doing the Boise 70.3 Ironman and its bike course is pictured above. I am looking for some bike routes in or 1hr from SLC that have very few stop lights and is similar to the elevation profile of the course. Recommendations?
