UDOT may have approved and sponsored the advertising, but it was the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective who came up with the concept and if you call that number -- it is their main line. Thanks to UDOT, the Collective was offering free Smart Cycling courses (www.bikeleargue.org) for people trying to get back on the bike.

Because cars don't stop and the sidewalk and then at the road -- statistics show you are safer in the middle of the road as opposed to places where cars aren't looking.

Boo hoo. If you’re going to use “the crappy roads” as an excuse not to ride your bike, chances are you probably don’t know how to ride a bike anyway, and if you did… you’d probably cry and ask mommy to fix your boo boo if you fell. mountain bikes are durable maybe it won’t kill you to ride a little in the road. Yes, Utah isn’t the most biker friendly town but it’s very doable and people do it every day.
