Finished up bike month with another ride to the office! It has been an absolute blast getting to bike in nearly every day since the long snow season ended here in SLC. β π²
Tune in this Winter to see if my sweet new commute turns me into an all weather bike rider.

Due to the overwhelming amount of people within the community who came out to fill sandbags today at Sugarhouse Park and Rosewood Park, we will not be holding sandbagging events tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and efforts!

Some days, a good 50% of my first/last mile commute involves aggressively waving at drivers, hoping I can shake them out of their "pedestrians don't exist" autopilot mode.
I traveled to Italy a few years ago, and had the opportunity to meet with public and private infrastructure groups... I walked away wondering a lot about where the public interests fit in.
