Cycling West — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 20:37:01 +0000

Letter to the Editor: Fifteen years ago I opened Absaroka Bicycle in Cody, Wyoming. There was not a bike shop in Cody at the time. I was riding and racing bikes back in the late 90s and early 2000’s and struggling to get work done on my bike. I thought to myself, I can’t be […]

Cyclists in Summit County Need to be Good Ambassadors

Cycling West — Wed, 17 Jul 2013 16:23:05 +0000

With the Park City and Summit County area having 4-5 events nearly every weekend during the summer, ‘special events” start to become something other than ‘special.’ Residents also confuse casual group rides with formal events; to the residents the distinction is irrelevant as both types of rides have the same impacts. They become angry, distrustful, and ever more anti-cyclist.

It’s Just a Quick Spin

Cycling West — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 23:30:32 +0000

the sickening sound one often hears when the impact of a body hitting the ground is so great, air is forced from the lungs. Ouch. Just seconds before, I was sailing along on my newly built ride, but I was brought to a quick halt.

Why I Wear a Helmet

Cycling West — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 22:13:35 +0000

On April 29th, 2010 I was training for an upcoming triathlon. I was riding down a hill when a car made a left-hand turn in front of me. It was an accident. The driver had not been drinking, speeding, or driving recklessly. We were both obeying the traffic laws.

John Higgins — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 06:00:00 +0000

By John Higgins I enjoyed Mr Ward’s report on the Ultimate Challenge in the current (September) issue of Cycling Utah, and feel compelled to answer the question posed toward the end.
