Speaking of Spokes Cycling Utah Celebrates 20 Years of Publication!

By David Ward

With this issue of Cycling Utah, 4543 S. 700 E., Suite 200 we commence our twenty-first year of publication. It was in March, 1993 Salt Lake City, UT 84107 that the inaugural issue of Cycling Utah hit the stands. Or to be more www.cyclingutah.com accurate, the cycling and sporting goods shops.

Shop Talk Opening A Home-Based Bicycle Business: Johnny-Mack Barlow’s Story your property. The nice folks down at the zoning office will help with all the details of starting up, including giving you a satellite photo of your house so there is no question of what signatures to get. I did get a special exception for my operation and that is also a matter of just going down and communicating with a real person and explaining your intentions. Looking at the ordinances will help but if it is too much to understand just go down and talk to someone. (www.slcgov.com/buslicense)

There are many “American Dreams.” Achieving the dream usually involves hard work, some luck and a little bit of help from friends. Johnny-Mack Barlow is achieving his dream as owner of The Bike Guy in Salt Lake City.

Cycling Utah: Johnny, how did you get started fixing bikes?

JMB: Being a child of a single parent mother, who had no means of fixing my bike, I had to fix my bike myself, or not ride. Then I had a wonderful time as a twenty-something mountain bike racer and seasonal bike mechanic who just happened to be ambidextrous and trained at United Bicycle Institute. Needless to say my opportunities were limited in terms of college money.

C.U.: So over the course of some years you became determined to start your own business?

JMB: Actually, it took about ten minutes from the time of my first thought about my business to actually putting out the sign and making it happen. I made the decision to start my own bike business at home, one day sitting looking out the window at the traffic backed up from 1700 south, and thought, with my skills I could put a sign out and repair some bikes. Thanks to the fact that I was in possession of The Bicycle Collective’s repair stand, and had some tools of my own, it took off. My location had a lot to do with it too and I have really had a ton of support from the Sugarhouse community, plus the fact that everyone thinks they can fix a bike, but not everyone can do it right.

C.U.: By “putting out a sign”, I assume you did not get a business license?

JMB: I had no thought of getting a license when I first put the sign out, but it exploded so much I had to make it legitimate. I just walked on down to the business licensing office at the Salt Lake City and County building, filled out the paperwork, and paid the fee. Then they investigate what you are doing. That is if you are already doing it. If you were not already doing it, a business plan would be in order. Part of 4 cycling utah.com MARCH 2013

Mechanic’s Corner Store Your Skis with Care until there is no dirt in the wax. Follow this with a coat of yellow or red wax and unscraped, place the skis in your ski bag to be stored in a safe place in the garage or basement. If you ski regularly but wax a little haphazardly, you may find the bases of your skis looking a little white on the edges or more (see photo). This is the beginning of the bases getting dried out which left unattended, can lead to badly oxidized skis after the summer. In most cases preparing the skis for storage as explained previ- ously will be adequate. Something else to consider prior to storage would be a “hot box” treatment. This procedure involves applying a coat of ultra-penetrating wax and placing the skis in the “hot box”, which holds the skis at the precise temperature for maximum wax penetration of the ski base.

Utah transportation leaders have announced the launch of UCATS, the Utah Collaborative Active Transportation Study, a comprehensive project that will look at ways to enhance pedestrian and bicycle connections to major transit lines and lay the groundwork for an urban network of bicycle routes along the Wasatch Front. UCATS is co- managed by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) in partnership with Wasatch Front Regional Council, Mountainland Association of Governments and Salt Lake County. The UCATS project team is inviting everyone interested in walking and bicycling on the Wasatch Front to participate in the conversation through the UCATS project website, hosted by MindMixer. The UCATS website, www. ucatsplan.com, will provide ongoing information about the study and establish a forum for dialogue on local walking and bicycling issues. Discussions that take place through the UCATS website will help the project team shape recommendations for bicycling and walking infrastructure along the Wasatch Front. Visit the UCATS project website at www.ucatsplan.com, and tell the project team what you think. MARCH 2013 cycling utah.com 15 16 cycling utah.com MARCH 2013

The fork has a 59mm trail, which Williams intends to provide more reponsive steering. Williams also drops the bottom bracket to 70 mm which places rider down lower on the bike. The lower position aims to improve the bike’s stability. Williams finishes the design with 425mm chainstays, which he borrows from traditional cyclocross designs. Williams has built up his RAD bike with SRAM Force. The wheel- set, bars, and stem come from the carbon wizards at Utah’s ENVE Composites. The Kelson Crusher bike also features disc brakes. While the true weight is still a secret, Williams allows that it’s approximately 18 pounds. The Kelson display at NAHBS also included a 650b steel hardtail and a full-carbon road bike.

Scrub offers their rotors in a variety of materials to meet the weight and durabil- ity needs of individual riders.

The machining of the rotors is performed in Seattle, and the final assembly and production work is completed in Salt Lake City.

Advocacy Cycle Tracks Are Coming to Utah “All test to the theory that if you build it, they will come,” Burke said at Interbike, a bike industry conference, in 2012. Chicago’s first protected bike lane increased ridership by 55 percent – with little to no effect on travel times of automobiles – according to Chicago’s Department of Transportation. And a 2012 study published in the “American Journal of Public Health” found that the risk of injury is 89 percent lower while bicycling on protected bike lanes compared to bicycling on major streets with no bike infrastructure. Alex Dickinson, a senior at the University of Portland, rides his bike on the city’s Bike Corridor daily – infrastructure that the Green Lanes Project helped put into place. bike lane plans throughout the city. city with cycle tracks, and is one “The worst case scenario is a street Potential cycle track locations are among many cities we look to for without a bike lane,” Dickinson said. on 300 South between 300 West and great, new ideas,” Raymond said. “I have been hit twice in Portland and the University of Utah; on 700 South In Portland, the bike culture came both times it was on streets with no between Main Street and 600 East; before the road projects, Dickinson bike lane.” on 200 East between 200 South and said. “But any of those streets where 800 South; on 200 West between “People saw there was a need for funding has been fueled into making North Temple and 700 South; and the road projects because there was a a safer bike lane, I don’t think I could on 100 South between 600 West and growing bike culture.

Trail of the Month Bike Parks BLM Opens Suicidal Tendencies, a Brand New New Bike Park Coming to Trail in the Santa Clara River Reserve Ogden The trail is an extension of the trail network in the Santa Clara River Reserve. Adding an extra 5.2 miles to the existing 17, the reserve is quickly becoming the most developed network in the St. George area. Suicidal Tendencies splits off the top of Sidewinder.
