I was searching around the internet for bike related stuff in Salt Lake City, and I stumbled upon this: http://www.themissionarydepot.com/missionary-bikes/missionary-bike-package/missionary-bike-package-1/
The famous Missionary Store (I get all my missionary stuff there) has missionary specific bikes.
All this Mormon stuff is starting to freak me out.
I'm leaving for Salt Lake tomorrow night, and I am renting a Felt road bike while I am out there to see what the scene is like. So far, it seems like the fixed gear guys out there are very slow, but very hip.
there's a cool bike coop out there: http://www.slcbikecollective.org/
actually, i've never seen it, i just know the guy who runs it, jonathan, and he's a stand up dude.
are you going to compare the other "burgeoning bike scenes"?
I planned on stopping by there, they seem to be very organized and have a lot of support through out the community-especially the U of U.
Not sure what you mean "are you going to compare the other "burgeoning bike scenes"? "...
It's funny to see a Mormon-specific bike! From where I came from, which is Taiwan, the Mormon missionary mostly ride locally-made bikes with camouflage like this:
urban camo!
nick, i guess you didn't see this: http://bike-pgh.org/2009/04/08/good-magazine-rates-pittsburgh-in-7-best-burgeoning-bike-scenes-in-north-america/
we were ranked in the 7 best burgeoning bike scenes in north america by some magazine. slc also made the list
"Not sure what you mean "are you going to compare the other "burgeoning bike scenes"? "... "
Take your ruler, dude.

ninjaturtle, is there a reason for the camo?
Erok, I did see that. So far, just from talking to people from SLC online, Pittsburgh seems much friendlier.
Mick, I don't get it.
The "Taiwanese camouflage" is a cheap anti-theft method. It makes the bike less appealing to theft. However, most people in Taiwan ride second-hand Dutch bikes, so they usually don't bother doing the camouflage paint job as it doesn't cost much to get a replacement bike.
