This is a great video that explains cyclists’ rights. This is specific to Wisconsin, but much of it applies to Utah as well. Following these laws won’t only keep you safer, but will also protect you legally in the event of a motor vehicle related accident. Stake your claim to your section of road, but yield to stupid drivers. Being alert is key to bicycle safety.

Read this Summary of Utah Bicycle Safety Laws.

This is a great guide to Bicycle Commuting in Utah. It covers many of the basics to consider before jumping on your bike.

The tutorials are going great. While I’m not always super excited to be in front of the camera, I think it is a good opportunity for people who are looking to learn a bit about bicycle maintenance. The second set of videos that we did were filmed in one day while I built my mountain bike. I got the 1998 Bontrager Race MTB frame from a friend who bought it on closeout in 1999. I put parts together from the shop and we got a tutorial for every bit of the build process except the headset installation and adjusting the derailleurs.
I left work a bit early yesterday so that I could beat the weather and make it up into the hills for a mountain ride. Its been about a year since I last rode a mountain bike. And it showed. Trails that I used to cruise up talking had me gasping for air. In a month or two I should be back to cruising speed. I’m looking forward to it.
