cycling utah.com MAY 2007cycling utah’s 2007 Bicycle Club GuideWhy join a club? Well,to start with, theadvice you get fromfellow club members is invaluable.Without it, you will spend a longtime learning from experience. Lastweek, on a slight downhill duringthe Salt Lake Marathon Bike Tour, Icame alongside a lady pedaling forall she was worth but going almostnowhere. Her problem? She wasin her small chain ring. She wasobviously new to cycling, with anice new bike and stylish gear. Iimposed myself long enough todescribe her problem to her andexplain how and when to shiftbetween chain rings. She made theshift, and life was immensely better.This is the kind of knowledgequickly and easily assimilated whenriding with a club.Quickly gaining this knowledgeis especially important in racing -skills and savvy are everything. Thefaster you learn, the sooner you willbecome more competitive. Clubsand team members are invaluablein accelerating the learning curve.Road racers benefit tremendouslyfrom having teammates who attack,block, pace and otherwise assisteach other.One of the main benefits of joininga club is the social atmosphere.Racers and recreational riders alikeenjoy sharing stories, adventuresand whoppers.

MAY 2007 cycling utah.com 5Mechanic's CornerUnderstanding Disc BrakesBy Tom JowThe hydraulic disc brake has now become original equipment on nearlyevery middle and upper end mountain bike. These powerful brakes, onceconsidered to be for “downhill” only, can even be found on road, ‘cross andhybrid bicycles. Although they seem complicated, hydraulic brakes actuallyrequire less maintenance than cable brakes. Read through the questionsbelow to learn a little more about these great brakes.Q. How much maintenance do disc brakes need?A. Because hydraulic disc brakes have self-adjusting pads, they actuallyrequire less maintenance than cable brakes. Like all bicycle component systems,they should be inspected regularly.Q. What type of fluid do hydraulic brakes use?A. Many brands use DOT (automotive) brake fluids, including Avid andHayes. Magura and Shimano are two brands that use specially formulatedmineral oil.Q. Do these fluids need to be changed?A. Yes. DOT brake fluid absorbs water, which will affect braking over time.Dependant upon use, brake fluid should be changed between 1 – 4 years ofuse.Q. How long do brakes pads last?A. Brake pad life is dependant on use. The average Utah user could expect atleast one season per set. When the pad material thickness is less than a dimeit is time for replacement. It is important that brake pads be replaced beforethey are completely worn out.Q. My new brakes do not feel as powerful as everyone says.A. New brakes require “burn-in” time, during which brake pad material isworn onto the rotors increasing friction, and therefore power of the brake.This period lasts for one or two rides. Avoid overheating the brakes duringthe burn-in period.Q. What about weak old brakes?A. Brakes that have a spongy, soft feel when squeezing the levers may haveair in the line and need bleeding. This can be caused by a leak in the systemor tipping the bike on its side or upside down. If the levers feel solid, it ispossible the pads and rotors have been contaminated with oil. Replace thepads and clean the rotors with rubbing alcohol.Q. How are the brakes adjusted so they do not rub?A. Some brakes can be adjusted by loosening mounting bolts and movingthe caliper over ever so slightly. Others require adding or removing very thinspacers. Sometimes the brake pads can be adjusted by placing a businesscard or two between the pad and rotor on the side that rubs.Q. Why do the brakes rub at the end of a long downhill?A. The reason is heat. Disc brake rotors are thin metal and may changeshape due to high heat. Heat is also transferred into the caliper and fluid. Thefluid may expand, pressing the pads out a small amount. After cooling thebrakes usually return to normal.Tom is manager at Wild Rose Sports in Salt Lake City. He hasdone sales, repairs, race team support and bicycle fitting for nearly30 years.Bicycling Salt Lake CityGuidebook ReleasedVeteran mountain biking guidebookauthor, Gregg Bromka, changesgears this spring and hits the pavementfor local road cyclists. Hisnewly released guidebook, BicyclingSalt Lake City, with a forewardwritten by cycling utah's publisher,David R. Ward, features 23 roadrides throughout the Salt LakeValley. The book covers the WasatchFront's seven canyon roads, fromCity Creek to Little CottonwoodCanyon, along with the ever-popularWasatch Boulevard along the foothills.Additionally, it describes ridesaround Saltair in the north to severalrides originating out of Draper in thesouth. Novice riders will relish themellow Jordan River Parkway whileendurance junkies can hone in on the 100-mile-long Oquirrh MountainsLoop.Mountain bikers won't feel slighted, for there are 10 of the best dirtrides in the Central Wasatch, too, making Bicycling Salt Lake City somewhatof a "crossover". If you're serious about off-road riding, though,you should consider buying Gregg's well-known guide, Mountain BikingUtah's Wasatch Front.One in the series of pocket-sized Falcon Guides, Bicycling Salt LakeCity is both concise and compact. Each route begins with a brief overviewfollowed by quick notes on distance, gain, physical difficulty, technicaldifficulty (mountain biking), and "margin of comfort" (road rides), whichaddresses a road's shoulder and level of safety. A mile-by-mile ride logcombined with a shaded relief map and an elevation graph round out eachchapter. Missing is Bromka's penchant for photography, as there is nary apicture in the book. The trade off is that the feather-light, hand-size bookstashes easily in a jersey pocket. Just pack it along with an energy bar andgo ride.You can find Bicycling Salt Lake City at your favorite bike shop orbook store throughout the valley. Retail price is $12.95.66Start Time 7:30 AM, Utah State Fair Park, 155 North 1000 WestThree Ride Lengths 36, 67 and 100 Miles.

See more photos atAnthemPhotoWorks.comBy Rob Van Kirk and KarenAppleby-KriegThe second edition of the TaxDay Circuit Race drew 160 ridersto the small town of Inkom, Idaho,ten miles south of Pocatello. AdamBoyce, Sam Krieg, and Mitch Whiteof the host club, Idaho CyclingEnthusiasts, and the officiating crewof Ellie Gallagher, Mark Hoffman,and Missy Burk put on a great dayof racing, despite the typical springtimeweather of wind, rain, hail,snow, and 40-degree temperaturesinterspersed with periods of intensesunshine.The race started with a 5-milerolling uphill trip out to the 7.3-milecircuit, which featured 3 miles ofgradual climbing, a ¾-mile steepclimb, and a screaming descent backto the bottom. The various classesrode between 1 and 7 full laps onthe circuit plus another half lap tofinish at the top. Category 1 riderTodd Hageman commented, “that’sa hard course for this early in theseason!” This was evident in theearly races of the day, in which ridersfell off the pace every lap upthe climb. The largest bunch finishall day was in the master’s 35+race, which Scott Allen (CanyonBicycles) won in an 8-man sprint.A strong field showed up forthe women’s 1-2-3 race, whichended up experiencing the worstweather of the day. Bobs-Bicycles.com (Boise, ID), Vanguard MediaGroup (SLC), WWCC (SLC), andFitzgerald’s Bicycles (Jackson,WY) were all represented. The racebegan conservatively, with everyoneriding tempo to discourage a majorattack before the first climb. LauraHowat (Vanguard Media Group)attacked at the top of the first climbto take home the cash QOM prime.On the second lap, Chellie Terry(Fitzgerald’s Bicycles) and KarenAppleby-Krieg (Bobs-Bicycles.com)briefly got off the front. The fieldchased back on in hot pursuit andcontinued riding strong tempo in thecold and windy weather until thefifth and final trip to the top.On the final half lap, all of theteams launched attacks, but eachwas quickly brought back until thebase of the climb. At this point,the field started to string out onthe steep section of the climb. KrisWalker (Bobs-Bicycles.com), LauraHowat (Team Vanguard Media),and Chellie Terry (Fitzgerald’sBicycles) made the final selection.With approximately 400 meters togo, Howat launched a strong attackbut was unable to shake Walkerand Terry. The three rode togethertoward the line when Walker threwdown a strong sprint to take the winat the top of the climb. Howat heldon for second and Terry rode in forthird.Forty-one riders lined up for the60-mile men’s pro-1-2 race, whichfeatured eight trips up the climb.Game was on only a couple milesinto the race, when Robert Lofgren(Contender), Marc Yap (SiennaDevelopment/Goble Knee Clinic),Located in the Meadows Shopping Center356 N. Meadow laneAmerican Fork, UT, 84003801.763.1222www.trekaf.com Eric Flynn (Bingham’s/Northshore),Eric Rasmussen (Porcupine/Specialized), Jeff Sargent (FFKR/Sportsbaseonline), and Jason Castor(Contender) initiated a breakawaygroup. Kris Lunning (Fitzgerald’s)bridged up a mile or two later.By the top of the first climb, agroup of six (Lofgren, Yap, Flynn,Rasmussen, Sargent, and Lunning)was working smoothly together.With all the major teams representedin the break, the field was content toride tempo, although given the difficultnature of the course, “tempo”to some was spitting others off theback each time up the climb.By the 5th crest of the summit,the breakaway group was startingto come apart, and a group consistingof 2006 winner Dave Harward(Porcupine/Specialized), MarkSanturbane (Bob’s-Bicycle.com),and Sandy Perrins (Sienna/Goble)had broken free of the pack andwas closing in on the break. Withthree laps to go, Lunning attackedthe remnants of the lead group, andonly Flynn and Sargent were ableto respond. Flynn eventually felloff the pace, but Lofgren was ableMarch 3April 7May 5May 19May 28June 2June 9June 30July 7July 14July 21August 4to claw his way back up. With lessthan two laps to go, the Harwardtrio completed the bridge and threwdown enough heat on the penultimateclimb to drop Lunning andLofgran. Sargent remained as theonly member of the original breakawayto make the lead group, whichby the last lap consisted only ofHarward, Santurbane, and Sargent.These three went to the last kilometertogether, with Santurbaneultimately prevailing by about 7seconds over Harward. Sargent wasclearly the day’s iron man, finishingin 3rd place, only 12 seconds behindHarward and a full minute ahead ofLunning, who rallied on the final lapto take a solid 4th.Race organizers promised aneven better event next spring, withlonger races and later start timesfor the category 4 and 5 riders.However, the only prediction theymade about the weather was that itwould be unpredictable.See results on page 18.801-942-3498 or www.intermountaincup.comThe Desert Rampage, St. George, UTCholla Challenge, Hurricane, UTShowdown at Five Mile Pass, Lehi, UTSoldier Hollow Hammerfest, Heber City, UTStan Crane Memorial XC, Draper, UTThe Sundance Spin, Sundance, UTDeer Valley Pedalfest, Deer Valley Resort, UTChris Allaire Memorial/Utah Open StateChampionship, Solitude, UTWimmer's Bicycle Race, Sherwood Hills, UTThe 20th Annual Mountain Bout, Snowbird, UTTaming the Tetons, Jackson Hole, WYWolverine Ridge XC Race, Double Points!,RegionalFinals, Evanston, WYAll races are Cross Country Events, No License Required!photo: joaquimhailer.comWorld Class Coaching forCompetitive and RecreationalCyclists.

See more photos at joaquimhailer.comBy Chuck CollinsSports-Am’s East Canyon RoadRace supported by Mike Hanseen’sCanyon Bicycle Club greeted threehundred participants for the 10:00a.m. start on the last Saturday ofApril. This year was the fourteenthaddition of the sixty-mile USCFout-and- back event from the EastCanyon resort to Lost Creek reservoirlocated north east of Croydon,Utah. The race features some of thebest road racing scenery Utah hasto offer marked by rolling terrainthrough ranch land, red-rock topographynear Henefer, and distantviews of the high mountains of theWasatch. Tactically, the race featuresthe penultimate ten-kilometer climbreturning from Henefer and a halfkilometerfinishing kicker on thebackside of Big Mountain.Some controversy hovered overthe race as registration closed fivedays early where commonly preraceregistration closes the Thursdaybefore a Saturday event. In addition,the total field size was cappedat 300 participants based on thepremise that parking is limited atthe resort. Further, the promoter wasclear that there would be no day-ofregistration. Still, some racers wereturned away at the race or were notable to register including pre-race45+ category UCA points leader,Mark Skarpohl.With the help from CanyonBicycles, all participants seemedto sign in efficiently and the racestarted on time, officiated by USCFGary and Louise Bywater, andCindy Yorgason as the moto-official.As number of USCF category5 men participants exceeded thefifty-rider limitation set by the raceregulations, the group was split intwo. All category five participantswere notified at the sign in that therewould be two groups. The promoterdid not anticipate this possibilitybefore the race announcement wasofficially approved by the UCA.Inevitably some category five ridersmissed the notification and raced inthe wrong group. This led to a delayin the post-race awards ceremony asofficials tried to sort out the mishapas finishers had been cross-listed inthe results.The big boys started innocentlyenough as all of the teams were wellrepresented. Experience reminds allthat show time ultimately occurson the big climb out of Henefergenerally after the establishmentof a fully represented break on theoutbound leg. Of real note, sometimeby the East Canyon reservoirshortly after the start, eventual winnerBryson Perry flatted and hisSienna Development/Goble KneeClinic/ Logan Race Club (LRC)teammate Jared Nelson stopped andgave Bryson his wheel. Jared spentthe rest of the race OTB and did notfinish last.As the race unfolded, a breakof nine riders did indeed get establishedshortly before the turn aroundby the dam. LRC riders BrysonPerry, Mike Booth, Nate Thomas,and super domestique SandyPerrins dominated the make-up ofthe break which also had perennialstrong man Porcupine/SpecializedRacing’s Dave Harward, OgdenOne and former junior US JuniorNational track team rider CameronHoffman, Binghams/Northshore’sEric Flynn and Todd Hageman, andFFKR/Sportsbase/Xango hammerArt O’Connor.Somewhere about a kilometerfrom the top of the climb back outof Henefer, Cameron Evans put itdown and gapped the leaders of thegroup. Bryson Perry and the restof his LRC compadres didn’t panicbut instead after a moment reeledin Cameron. This effort popped Art,Eric, and Nate. Now the nine weresix and they were over the top withten km to the finish - all flat exceptfor the finish.With the big climb behindthem, team tactics and motor speedbecame the cards to play. LRC hadto cover multiple attacks in-boundby Dave, Todd, and Cameron, topreserve Bryson for the finish.Bryson won followed by Cameronand Dave. The race leaders averagedover 41 kph.The women’s category 1-2-3race also was selected on the climbout of Henefer with Laura Howatand Kelly Crawford summiting first.Laura out-dueled Kelly on the finishingclimb, Jill Wilkerson-Smithtime-trialed the remaining ten kilometersfor third.All in all, this beautiful raceSaturday was successful and reflectsthe efforts of a thriving bicycleracing community. Sports-Am hadmarked the course well and had theMorgan County Search and Rescueteam acting as course marshals inHenefer and Croydon. Sports-Amhad marked many of the potholeswith orange spray paint that accentthe country road and had sweptgravel from all of the corners andon the descent into Croydon.

MAY 2007 cyclingutah.com 13mountain bike racingSager Wins Again, Hanks Triumphs atCholla ChallengeAbove: Jason Sager (in back) beat Bart Gillespie for the secondtime in a row. Photo: Ryan Dionne.By Ryan DionneIt was hot, and it was dusty. Butthe 80+ degree weather in Hurricanedidn’t stop most of the 230 racersfrom finishing the Cholla Challenge.While Northern Utah experiencedcomfortable biking temperatures inthe 60’s and 70’s, riders sucked theirCamelbaks dry in the desert heatApril 7.“It was a tough race. Not necessarilybecause of the climbing, but becauseof the conditions,” says JerrySimmons, owner of the Red RockBicycle Company and organizerof the Intermountain Cup’s secondrace of the season. “I’ve run that sixyears now, and I’ve never seen itlike that.”In past years Simmons startedthe race at 10 a.m. to allow MotherNature to warm up the course, butthe desert chill was still presentwhen the bikers left the starting line.So this year he pushed the start timeback even further to 11 a.m. But thatwas a mistake.That extra hour allowed MotherNature to torch the 12-mile, shadelesscourse. While most racersfinished with merely fatigue, onerider was disoriented on the courseand needed an I.V. to rejuvenate her.Even the water stop halfway throughthe course – which was an afterthought– ran dry before lap two. “Iguess you live and learn,” Simmonsremarked.But despite the hot, dry conditionswhich provided for anentirely different course than lastyear, pro rider Jason Sager (Mona-Vic/Cannondale) managed to ridestrong and finish first with a 3-lap, 36-mile time of 2:24:33. Asplanned, the Park City resident hadteammate Bart Gillespie (Mona-Vic/Cannondale) right on his tail finishingjust one second back. “My goalwas for us to go 1-2-3 out here,”Above: Sara Watchorn (Revolution) won the women's expert race.Photo: Ryan Dionnesays Sager. But the plan ended withGillespie because fellow teammateThomas Spannring (Mona-Vic/Cannondale) took 7th, finishingmore than 20 minutes behind theleaders.The course was obviously slowerwhen comparing overall times fromlast year to this year. Pro riderslike Sager and Gillespie came inabout 10 minutes slower than lastyear – despite still averaging about15 mph. While the two teammatesfinished in the same position as theClassic Desert Rampage, fellow prorider Cris Fox (Canyon Bicycles)took third.

14 cycling utah.com MAY 2007Ride of the MonthCanyons of the Wasatch, Part IBy Gregg BromkaOnly a non-bicyclist would dareask the most foolish of questions:Why ride your bike up a canyonroad when you live in a flat city?The answer is painfully profound:Because it is there. Here are fourclassic canyons that are there foryou to ride, excerpted from my newbook, Bicycling Salt Lake City.City Creek Canyon RoadLocated only one mile from SaltLake City's central business district,City Creek Canyon is a treasuredamenity for the valley's residents.Within minutes, you can escape theconfines of urbanism and becomeimmersed in a tranquil natural sanctuary.Shady picnic areas dot thebanks of the bubbling creek and anarray of wildlife thrives within thebrushy canyon.The lower road to the water treatmentplant rises in stair-step fashionwith short moderately pitched hillssoftened by gentle respites. Pastthe plant, the road rises steadilyand more steeply and summonsyour lowest gears on a permanentbasis. It's all good. The return glide,although regulated by a 15 mphspeed limit, is worth the effort.At 11.2 miles, round trip, youcan knock off City Creek duringlunch time. With more time to spare,you can make it the target of a trekacross the foothills or as an add-onto the loop around 11th and 3rdAvenues.There is no shoulder on theroad but margin of comfort is goodbecause vehicles are prohibited onthe odd-numbered bike days. Still,you must use caution when descendingand stay to the road's far rightside because there are numerousblind turns, and pedestrians andascending cyclists invariably wanderinto your lane.To get there, take BonnevilleBoulevard one-half mile from theintersection of B Street and 11thAvenue to the entrance to CityCreek Canyon. Park at the gate orat the nearby Bonneville ShorelineTrail trailhead. By bicycle, pedalup the paved road through MemoryGrove Park.Emigration Canyon RoadAptly named, EmigrationCanyon was the final leg of theMormon Pioneer's historic trek tothe Salt Lake Valley in 1847, leadby Brigham Young. Today, thecanyon's paved road is one of themost popular rides in the WasatchRange. With ride-to access from thecity's east bench, gentle to moderategrades, and light to moderate traffic(not to mention two quaint cafes),Emigration beckons racers is fullregalia to rec riders in t-shirts.Averaging about three percentgrade and gaining only 1,270 feetover it's 15.6-mile round-trip course,Emigration is the easiest of theride for the fun of it. ride for the health of it.RIDE FOR THE CAUSE.Wasatch's canyons. It's the perfectfitness ride with consistently pitchedgentle grades broken by shortinclines that demand slightly moreeffort. The last 1.8 miles steepento near five percent. If you wear aheart rate monitor, then you'll findEmigration makes for an ideal 30-minute time trial.Margin of comfort varies fromfair to good overall. Recent roadreconstruction at the canyon's bottomand striping for a new bike lanewill make the first several milesrefreshingly comforting over thedownright dangerous conditions ofyears past.To get to Emigration Canyon,drive or ride one mile east of theintersection of Foothill Drive andSunnyside Avenue (800 South). Youcan park at the Bonneville ShorelineTrail trailhead across from HogleZoo or at nearby Rotary Glen Park.East Canyon Road/UT 65Whether ridden by itself ortacked onto either Parleys Canyonor Emigration Canyon, the EastCanyon Road to Big Mountain Passhas a "euro" feel, as the last severalmiles switchback steeply to the7,420-foot-high "col." It's hardly"hors de categorie," but it's a stiffclimb just the same. Racers mightdance on their pedals up the grade;mortals might wish for lower gears.Those not hellbent on droppingthe peloton will be interested toknow that the ride has historical significance,as it was the chosen routeof the Mormon Pioneers, CaliforniaTrail, Pony Express, OverlandStage, and original telegraph linebetween 1846 and 1861. At 16.2miles round trip and gaining nearly1,900 feet, East Canyon Road borderson strenuous. The ride beginswith a 1.5-mile warm-up at six percentgrade that will jump start yourheart faster than a double shot ofespresso. A long gradual mid-routeapproach precedes the final threemile,seven-percent grind to BigMountain Pass.The return flight is a hugereturn for your climbing investment,highlighted with steep hairpinturns up top, high cadence miles inthe middle, and a tuck-and-glidestraightaway to the finish. Margin ofcomfort varies from good initiallyto fair thereafter. The road is signed"Share the Road" throughout, andtraffic is generally light. But be alertto lumbering RVs and boat-towingtrucks on weekends.Save gas and supersize your rideby accessing East Canyon Roadfrom Emigration Canyon Road.Just descend 1.5 miles from LittleMountain Summit to UT 65 andgo left to head to Big MountainPass. You'll nearly double yourride in distance and in elevationgain. Alternatively, ride 5 miles upParley's Canyon/I-80 to the EastCanyon Road exit. If you reallywant to go the distance, first knockoff the Parley's Canyon/I-80 climbto Parley's Summit (see below),and upon descending make a "sidetrip" up East Canyon Road to BigMountain Pass. Whoa!From Salt Lake City, drive (orpedal) 5 miles up I-80 in ParleysCanyon and take Exit 134 for EastCanyon/UT 65. Park and embarkjust past the golf cart bridge forMountain Dell Golf Course.Parleys Canyon/I-80Despite I-80 being a major transportationcorridor between Salt LakeCity and all points east, ParleysCanyon is quite popular with bicyclists.Named after Parley Pratt, aMormon pioneer who first built atoll road up the canyon to Park Cityin the mid 1800s, Parleys Canyonmixes gentle and steep grades whereyou can perfect your high cadence"tempo" riding or build your rawclimbing power. Endurance junkiescan use Parleys as a stepping stonefor longer treks to Park City or upEast Canyon Road.Parleys gains 2,300 feet over the22-mile round trip, so it's nothing toscoff at. Riders with modest fitnessand reasonably low gearing willfind the climb to be a sit-and-spin"tempo" ride. If your bike lacks lowgears, then you'll be pumping hardat low cadence most of the way. Pastthe Lamb's Canyon exit the canyonroad locks into a six percent gradefor three tedious miles to the summit.Truckers are warned of thecanyon's three to six percent grades,but your brakes won't be smokingon the descent because there is a fairamount of pedaling, and a stiff upcanyonwind will likely be in yourface. Also in your face are inspiringviews of tall peaks, like Mount Aire,and neighboring canyons and ridges.Even though the interstate'sshoulder is often ten feet wide, marginof comfort is no more than fair.You'll brush elbows with vehicleswhile accessing the canyon via onramps, and once on the interstate arumble strip next to the white lineforces you to ride where graveland debris collect most. Of course,vehicles whizzing by at 70 mph isunnerving, but you'll get numb to it.Next Month: Canyons of theWasatch Part II (Mill Creek, BigCottonwood, and Little CottonwoodCanyons)..Get a copy of Gregg's Utahguidebooks: Bicycling Salt LakeCity, Mountain Biking Utah,Mountain Biking Utah’s WasatchFront, and Mountain Biking ParkCity & Beyond. at your favoritebike shop.the American Diabetes AssociationGolden Spike CenturyJune 9, 2007Brigham City, Utah100 mile, 60 mile, 25 mileCall 1-888-342-2383 to register oronline at tour.diabetes.orgFinancing Utah cyclists since 1991.See website for cyclist’s discount orcall me at (801) 580-6479.7651 S main st #108 ° Midvale, Ut 84047Cycling: October 9-12, 2007Triathlon: October 13, 2007Mtn Biking: October 15-16, 2007St. George, UTFor Ages 50+800-562-1268www.seniorgames.nethwsg@infowest.com

MAY 2007 cycling utah.com 17Book reviewHow to Live Well Without Owning a CarBy Lou MeliniTrue or False:1. According to AAA, the averageAmerican spends $8,410 per year toown an automobile.2. The Surface TransportationPolicy Project states that the averageAmerican spends 443 hours annuallyin a car.3. Edmonds.com calculates that ifyou purchased a used 2001 ToyotaCamry LE in 2005, the true costof the car after 5 years is actually$26,411.4. Taking the average expenditureof a car, investing it at an 8% return,you will be a millionaire in 40 years.All of the above answers aretrue except for number 4. The correctanswer to #4 according to Mr.Balish is 30 years! You will find allof these tidbits and more in ChrisBalish’s new book, How to LiveWell Without Owning a Car.If your car seems like a moneypit, financial calculations makeyou dizzy and you are looking forthat pot of gold at the end of therainbow, then “How to Live WellWithout Owning a Car” is for you.Balish does briefly discuss globalwarming, pollution, and environmentalinsults due to cars. Primarilyhe is going to make you feel goodwhere most people like to feel good,in the wallet or pocketbook. Yes, hewill make not owning a car equal tosomeone landing on your Boardwalkproperty with hotels.Before I give too much praisefor Chris Balish’s book, I have toCholla - from page 13Except for a one-mile loose,sandy section that Simmons tookout of the course and a two-milesection he added, the course wasthe same as past years. It startedoff through a wash, went into ashort moderately uphill sectionof slickrock, then riders climbedtowards a brake-burning, rockydownhill section. The combinationof sand, washes and singletrackwere then thrown in amongst thenumerous whoops to keep riderson their toes.Those whoops are the veryobstacles that helped take expertrider Kris Arnatt of Salt Lake Cityout of the race. The constant teetertotteringtakes a toll on the legsand Arnatt said he couldn’t find arhythm and DNF’d about halfwaythrough his three laps.Not everyone’s a fan of a flatterMidwest-style XC race, butSager is. Though the top finisheris a well-known rider throughoutthe Intermountain Cup series onall types of terrain, the flat ChollaChallenge is a good change. “I liketo do more than pedal uphill andcoast downhill,” he says.But Gillespie and expertwomen’s rider Sara Watchorn(Revolution) don’t necessarilyagree. Perhaps the hardest part ofthe race was the lack of downhillGillespie said. “You’re pedalingthe whole time for two plus hours.”And Watchorn thinks the downhillsare worth suffering on the climbs.There was some shufflingaround in the expert women’scategory between this race andthe Classic Desert Rampage.Erin Collins, who took first in St.George, raced pro in Hurricane andWatchorn grabbed the top spot onthe podium. She finished a minuteahead of teammate Erika Powers(Revolution), who took fifth in St.make a disclaimer. I and 3 other SaltLakers (Julie Bond, formerly withUTA, Michael Wise of the Salt LakeBike Collective, and Travis Jensenwith the Utah Bicycle Coalition)are quoted in this book. I have beenawaiting his book since exchanginge-mails with him last year. Forthe record, I purchased my book atthe Green Building Center; no freelunch for this review.“If you currently own or leasea car, truck or SUV, this book hasthe power to give you a $5,000 to$10,000 raise.”The first of four sections inBalish’s book discusses the economicsof owning a car, and asCarBusters Magazine states, targetsAmericans who haven’t thoughtabout the financial affects of owninga car.“Being able to get to and fromwork reliably is a fundamentalrequirement for living car free.”In section two he discusses thisfundamental need. Included arechapters on public transit, bicycles,motorcycles and scooters, and anexcellent chapter on walking. Healso asks the most important questionin one chapter entitled, “Shouldyou move closer to where youwork?” He even includes a shortchapter on grooming. If there isanother edition, he should add achapter for those who need to leavework at times for meetings, salescalls, or deliveries.“Virtually any errand and almostall shopping can be done easily andconveniently without ever gettingGeorge, and three minutes aheadof third place finisher ChandaJeppson (Cedar Cycle/ColorCountry), who claimed the samespot as the rampage. All averagedbetween 10 and 11 mph with timesof 2:12:07, 2:13:16 and 2:15:19.Despite her strong finish, Watchornwasn’t satisfied. “I woulda liked tohave felt a little better at the end,”she smirked.Despite the heat and dry, dustytrails, even first-timers like StacyGriswold (Team Red Rock), atruck driver from Southern Utah,had a great time. “I’d do it again,”he said after finishing sixth inhis debut mountain bike race. Heexpected the race to be a $31 trailride, but he said the competitionkept him pushing his body harder.“Passing people was awesome!”Perhaps the biggest surprisein registration came in the sportclass. “Sport men 30-34 and sportmen 40+ were both huge classes,”says Simmons. The categorieshad 18 and 28 competitors respectively.Pro women had three riders– Jennifer Hanks (Revolution/PeakFasteners), Kara Holley (MadDog/Subaru/Gary Fisher) and ErinCollins who finished in that order– while single-speeders chalked upsix riders.From Hurricane, IntermountainCup riders travel to Lehi for the13th Annual Showdown at 5-milePass on May 5. The relatively flatraces are finished, and now it’s onto the higher-altitude courses withleg-burning climbs, screaming-fastdownhills and cooler temperaturesunlike the Cholla. “I set this one upto give it a little variety,” Simmonssays. “I think this is a good course– a good tune-up for the racescoming up.”See race results on page 18.into a car”.Section three discusses the nearlyequally important non-work transportation.This is a rarity in mostbooks of this type. One chapter isdevoted to socializing and datingwithout a car. Unfortunately, SaltLake City doesn’t have a car-sharingprogram like the one he discusses.“Living well without a car”Section four eases the uninitiatedinto a car-free lifestyle. It alsotouches on going car-lite and how tohandle life with children with lesscar use. Chris even has a chapter on“what to do with that extra time andmoney”The book received good reviewsin Bike Culture Magazine (EastCoast) and CarBusters Magazine.However the latter also stated thatif you are a dedicated car-free orcar-lite devotee, then the book isnot the book to buy. I disagree withthat, as it will reinforce your argumentsto those who worry aboutyour lifestyle. “Cutting Your CarUse” by Ghent and Semlyen andpreviously reviewed in CyclingUtah “Divorce Your Car” by KatieAlvord (both published by NewSociety Publishers) are two similarbooks with different focuses. If youare thinking of getting rid of a car,this is your book. Or, if you have afriend who is constantly complainingabout the cost of a car, thiswould make a great gift.How to Live Well Without Owninga Car by Chris Balish.Ten-Speed Press, 2006.Driver in WilliamsDeath SentencedOn October 16, 2005, RogelioMolina struck and killed cyclistClaude O. Williams on N. Templein Salt Lake City. Molina’s bloodalcohol level was 0.14. Thevehicle continued on after hittingWilliams. The accident was witnessedby a cab driver who calledpolice.

The order, isintended to further promote walkingand bicycling as safe, effectivealternatives to automobiletransportation, and to ensure Citytransportation projects fully planfor the variety of uses of publicrights of way over the long term.The executive order providesclear requirements and guidelinesfor the incorporation of bicycleand pedestrian ways into Cityroad construction and reconstructionprojects. The order alsoestablishes a Complete StreetsCommittee, consisting of theTransportation Director, PlanningDirector, City Engineer, and,where appropriate, the AirportDirector, to judge whether includingwalkways or bikeways ona given public right of way isproportionate to the projected useof the right of way by pedestriansand bicyclists.The document can be foundonline at cyclingutah.com/news/Completestreets.pdf.AdvocacyBike and Ped Safety?By Charles PekowState legislatures play a key rolein ensuring bicycle and pedestriansafety. Actions by state, local andfederal governments have madestreets safer for people to bike andwalk.Or so says the NationalConference of State Legislatures(NCSL) in an advisory to its members.Its new Transportation Review:Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety indicatesthat NCSL thinks its membersplay an important role in ensuringthe safety of bicyclists. But the datathe report provides indicate that statelegislatures are doing a lot moredebating and introducing of safetylegislation than actually implementingit.NCSL reported that last year,state legislatures considered nearly80 bicycle and pedestrian bills,though they passed far fewer. Manydeal with motorist responsibilities;another common topic involvedincreasing penalties for violatingrules.But the most common bicyclesafety issue that spurred (unsuccessful)legislation concerned helmetuse, NCSL reported. And for goodreason. Of the 782 bicyclists killedin the United States in 2005, 673were not wearing helmets, accordingto the National Highway TrafficSafety Administration.Twenty states, Puerto Rico andthe District of Columbia had previouslyenacted laws requiring someusers (most commonly juveniles)to wear helmets, according to theInsurance Institute for HighwaySafety. But Idaho, Utah, Coloradoand Wyoming had not, though.Ironically, though it proved a populartopic for legislative debate, nostate enacted a helmet law last year.(Data do not include local ordinances.)But a recent issue that some statelegislatures did succeed in passinglegislation around last year involvedthe nuisance of motorized scooterson the bikepaths. Colorado and sixother states have enacted legislationrestricting use of “toy bikes” or“pocket bikes.” As their popularityincreases, NCSL’s review suggests,state and municipal authorities “willwant to address” how they affectbicyclists and pedestrians.Another common topic involvedSafe Routes to Schools, efforts toencourage children to bike and walkto school safely. Several states hadsimilar legislation before passageof the 2005 federal SAFETEA-LUAct that offered each state at least$1 million. (In 2004, for instance,Colorado earmarked some of its federaltraffic safety funds for projectsaround schools.) But the federal law,obviously, provided a spur to states,which not only get the money butget considerable leeway in designingtheir own programs.But most states hadn’t figuredout yet exactly what to do withtheir Safe Routes money. Optionsrange from educating children aboutbicycle safety to designing safebike routes and promoting bikingand walking instead of getting aride in an auto to school. As of thisJanuary, 29 states were still figuringout what to do and only SouthDakota had made no effort. It’s stilltoo early to judge the effectivenessof these programs but the issue willremain popular as states continue tofigure out what to do and then do it,NCSL’s paper predicts.Road racingTour of Utah PostponedSALT LAKE CITY – The Board of Directors of the Tour of Utah bicyclerace announced today that this year’s event will be postponed.While enthusiasm and support for the Tour of Utah continues to be high,after several months of aggressive sales and marketing efforts, the managementteam was unable to secure the required level of sponsorship supportneeded to produce the multi-stage race they had planned. Based on initialfeedback from potential sponsors, the race organizers believe that postponingthe race will allow the time necessary to secure sufficient sponsor support toproduce the race.Chairman of the Board, Greg Miller, is hopeful that the combination of thenew management team assembled in January 2007, general interest fromthe business community and excitement from cyclists, will result in a strongcommunity event in the future.“In assessing our current staff, meeting personally with community stakeholdersand business leaders, and observing the Tour of California bicyclerace, I believe that we have the foundation in place to build a well-respectedand successful event,” Miller said. “We hit the ground running in January,and after getting up-to-speed, realized that we will better serve the communityby postponing this year’s race. We need to get an earlier start in orderto time our fundraising efforts with annual corporate budget cycles.”In connection with today’s announcement, Ted Wilson, Executive Director ofthe Tour of Utah, is stepping down to pursue other opportunities.“Ted did a great job getting us to where we are today,” Miller said. “We willmiss his leadership and wish Ted the very best in his endeavors.” A replacementwill be named in the near future.In addition, the Utah Sports Commission announced it will work with USACycling and Medalist Sports, LLC, one of the leading cycling event planners,to create and develop a broad-based, comprehensive cycling strategyfor the state of Utah, including the Tour of Utah.“This strategy will allow the state to explore cycling in greater detail to thebenefit of the sport and the Tour of Utah,” said Jeff Robbins, President andCEO of the Utah Sports Commission.

22 cycling utah.com MAY 2007commuter of the MonthBicycling Bridges Religious and Political DividesBy Lou MeliniThis month’s commuter columnwill feature three cyclists, DaveRaymond, Rob Halter, and TodHarris, who live approximate ¼ mileapart in the northeast corner of theCanyon Rim. (Canyon Rim, a partof unincorporated Salt Lake County,is north of 3300 South, and east of I-215 until it meets the Salt Lake Cityborder). There are three other bikecommuters, including the writer ofthis column and his wife, and previouslyprofiled Ryan Evans whoalso live within this small corner ofCanyon Rim. The destinations of theprofiled riders range from ResearchPark, the LDS Church office buildingto a high-end woodworking shopin South Salt Lake with mileagefrom 12-15 miles day on their commute.Cycling Utah: So why do you guysride to work? Were you aware ofthe number of riders in our smallworld of Canyon Rim?Rob H: Not enough self-disciplineto exercise without a reason. Ridingto work invigorates me. I am moreready to tackle the day at work. Italso helps me rationalize buyingcool bike stuff. I have noticed a lotof cyclists in our area, but not recognizingthem as commuters.Tod H: The riding keeps me in goodshape, I save a ton of money on gasand car maintenance, and I can thinkabout issues and how to work themout. I wasn’t aware of the number ofcommuters in our area. I sometimesride with 6 or 7 of my teammates(Midoule/Barbacoa) from this areaon my way to work. Some of themcommute with me now and then.Dave R: I enjoy the fact that insteadof sitting in a car for 30 minutes, Ispend my time not only getting towhere I need to but also maintainingmy fitness. From a traffic congestionpoint of view, I am part of the solution,instead of part of the problem.C.U.: We are a pretty diverse group.I know we have different religiousand political affiliations. If everyonebiked, would this common bondhelp bring people together to solveother issues in the community? Bemore tolerant of each other? Stopstereotyped labeling based on religionor political affiliation?R.H: I think I’m pretty tolerant.Any common bond will help bringpeople together, though it doesn’tmean we will have the same viewpointon other issues. The commonbond will help people approach theissues with respect for the opposition,in other words be more tolerantother opinions.Tod H: I think riding brings cycliststogether. However I can connectwith my neighbors who do not ridebecause we have a different commonbond, so they don’t thinkI’m the “odd guy who rides a bike”anymore. With enough bonds, wecan eliminate labels like apples andoranges and consider them simplyfruit. I do think I am a little moretolerant of someone with whom Ishare a common bond. I ride with arather diverse group. Our joy of ridingtranscends our diversity.Dave R: Humans seem to alwaysfind a way to subdivide and categorize.We even do it within ourcycling community with labels of“roadie”, “commuter”, and “fat-tirefolks”. We should think about greetingeach other on our bikes ratherthan looking at what type of bike weare riding or what clothing we arewearing. Cycling has the potential totranscend politics, race, gender, andreligion, even socio-economics.C.U.: What would it take for theleaders of the various religions inUtah to actively promote a reductionof car use by asking people to bikeor walk to work?R.H: There would have to be astrong local effect, for example,Parley'sPathway ProjectUpdateIn October, the Parley’sPathway Project, the folksbehind the Parley’s CanyonBike Trail, submitted an applicationfor Federal TransportationEnhancement (TE) funding tohelp with a feasibility study onthe project. The project willestablish a bike route throughUpper Parley’s Canyon fromMountain Dell to the Summit,thus providing Interstate-freebicycle access between Salt Lakeand Park City. The applicationwas rejected, or more accuratelythe project was not selected forfunding. The reason given wasthat the selection committee feltthat the counties of Summit andSalt Lake should cooperate indeveloping the feasibility studyand when that is completed reapplyfor federal TE funding.That cooperation has begun.Recently representatives of thetwo counties met to initiate anInterlocal agreement, a legalcompact defining the financialcontributions of both counties infunding a feasibility study for theproject. Upon completion of theinterlocal agreement the projectwill go out to bid. The planningagency that wins the bid willdevelop a master plan for theproject. When that is complete,the Parley’s Pathway Project willre-apply for TE funding.That is the state of the Parley’sbike route so far. It’s on track andthe future looks bright.

Global warming iscurrently too politicized to raise anyawareness at present by religiousleaders.Tod H: There have been somerecent discussions within variousreligious communities that the takingcare of the planet is also a wayto show respect and reverence forthe Creator. I have not heard anyone religion articulate that locally.I would rather not see pollution getsubstantially worse for religiousleaders to take a stand. Howeverrather than waiting for our leaders totake a stand, our little community ofbike commuters should continue toset an example by riding our bikesand encouraging others to do thesame. At one time, it seemed thatmy bike was the only one at theLDS Church Office Building. A fewyears ago a second bike rack wasinstalled and now both racks are fullmost days. I take that as a positivesign.C.U: Can our political parties cometogether and improve transportationfor cyclists?Tod H: I sincerely hope so. Gettingpeople out of their cars and ontobikes is beneficial in so many waysthat we ought to do all we can tomake it easier and more rewardingfor anyone will to give it a try.C.U: Thank you all for participatingin this column. In my attempt to createa non-controversial but interestingtopic within the narrow confinesof bike commuting, I learned a lot.If you have a suggestion for acommuter profile, please send anemail to lou@cyclingutah.com.Weber Pathways Receives Largest Donation inOrganization’s HistoryWeber Pathways recently received the largest single donation in itstwelve year history. The Biker’s Edge in Kaysville donated a commerciallot which Weber Pathways sold for $327,000. At the donor’s request,Weber Pathways will use the proceeds for trail-and trail-related projectsthroughout the County. These will include development of a trail corridoralong the Weber River, continuation of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail inWeber County, construction of trails in Ogden Valley, and development oftrail-related programs.Mary Hall, the Chair of Weber Pathways, reflected the excitement ofthe non-profit’s Board, when she said, “Weber Pathways survives andthrives from the generous donations of its many supporters. We are especiallygrateful to the Biker’s Edge for their generosity and commitment.Such a significant gift will go a long way towards continued developmentof trail systems in Weber County.”Zach Chatelain of the Biker’s Edge said, “We are extremely excited tobe able to make such a great positive contribution to the trails in WeberCounty. We all love to ride and are thrilled at the prospects of new andbetter trails in the area. I know that these trails will be enjoyed by boththose who live in the area and those to come to visit for years to comeand would also like to thank Weber Pathways for everything they havedone to make this happen.”

24 cycling utah.com MAY 2007ROUTE 211Coors Classic RememberedBy Greg OvertonEditor Dave laid the ‘Red Zinger/Coors Classic, Where it All Began’dvd set (published by VeloGear) onme a couple of months ago, and Ithink I owe him a nice lunch, or a giftin kind or perhaps even I owe him thecomfort of meeting a deadline sometimein the future. Thanks Dave! Thisthree dvd set is one of the coolestthings I’ve watched in years - abouttwenty years! What a trip down memorylane for me. The boxed set wascompiled by race director, MichaelAisner, from footage that includeseverything from locally producedfilms to network productions, and it’sa great compilation.I wasn’t around for much of theRed Zinger days, so the footageof those races was very interestingto me. And the names heard beingannounced over the race’s P.A. systemcaught my attention. Racers thatmany of us are familiar with, likeJonathan Boyer, George Mount andthe Stetina brothers Dale and Wayne,are some of the greatest pioneersof modern American cycling. Butother names pop up, too, that I didn’texpect. Names like Bill Shook, whowould go on to start American ClassicComponents that would supply riderswith great components for their bikes,and still does; and Peter Gilbert,who helped found a company calledCane Creek. Tom Prehn, who hasbeen instrumental at Cateye cyclingelectronics and now owns a cyclingresearch firm that aids suppliers inthe outdoor industries, is the onlyrider who rode every edition of therace. Several other of those early racersbecame shop owners and cyclingindustry movers and shakers. WayneStetina became the head of ShimanoAmerican and Boyer has ownedseveral cycling importing firms. It’sinteresting to note that not only theracing community has roots in thisevent, but also the cycling industryas a whole. The impact of the RedZinger and Coors Classic can be feltalmost everywhere in cycling today.Current stage races in America arepatterned, at least to some degree,on the template developed by Aisnerback then.And the riders featured in theeighteen years of racing on thisset is a who’s who list of not onlyAmericans, but also legends of thesport worldwide. American riderslike Boyer, Greg LeMond, AndyHampsten, Davis Phinney and AlexiGrewal can be seen racing againstthe likes of Bernard Hinault, PhilAnderson, Moreno Argentin and ahost of Eastern Bloc riders, includingEkimov and Ugrimov who joined theEuropean professional peloton oncethe doors opened for them. Muchof the footage is more up close andpersonal than is possible with coverageof current racing, especially atthe highest level. Riders were not somuch lofty celebrities then, and weremore available for interviews beforeand after stages.Watching this footage, especiallythe Coors Classic years, was a greatmemory jogger for me. Having beenpresent for most of the racing, I couldrecall some of the particular stages,and even some of the attacks andcrashes, and wins and losses shown.Memories of strolling through theteam vehicle areas and not just catchinga glimpse, but actually speakingwith the likes of Hinault andArgentin, are snapshots that have heldmy imagination for the two decadessince. Watching Hinault skidding hisbike through a corner during a rainyTivoli Criterium stage in downtownDenver, his teeth clinched in the tensestyle that earned him the nickname“Badger”, as he tried to stay on thewheel in front of him. This was a fivetime Tour de France champion, racinga criterium in America, in the rain, inhis last stage race before retiring, andstill burning to ride at the front.Hinault was probably chasingDavis Phinney in that race. Phinney,the winningest American professionalracer, was money in the bank at theCoors Classic. The Boulder nativewatched the Red Zinger as a kid, andwas captivated by bike racing. Hebecame the race’s record holder forstage wins, and was a great sprinterwho had an innate ability to positionhimself for the win and findmore speed than anyone else whenit counted. Phinney also won severalTour de France stages and the 1988final Coors Classic overall win inhis great career that saw his transformationfrom criterium specialist toroad racer as his 7-11 team becamea fixture of the European Peloton.That team morphed into the MotorolaTeam, which eventually became TeamDiscovery Channel that still competescurrently. The roots of recent successin American cycling go directlyto and through the Red Zinger andCoors Classic.The race also featured majoralpine climbs in contrast to theAmerican style criterium races. Andfrom these mountain stages emergedthe likes of Andy Hampsten, the onlyAmerican to win the Giro d’ Italia– on a mountain stage that he latercommented was sort of like the stageshe’d ridden in the Coors Classic.Jeff Pierce and Ron Keifel were alsogreat climbers who emerged at theCoors, Pierce becoming a Tour deFrance stage winner and Keifel winningmore Giro stages than any otherAmerican. Jonathan Boyer, a Utahnative and also a great climber, foundsuccess at the Red Zinger and becamethe first American to ride the Tour deFrance, finishing twelfth and openingthe door for LeMond and the rest.It was LeMond who, as a junior,rode at the front in this race withan international field of professionalsand showed the promise thatwould ultimately lead to three Tourde France victories and three WorldChampionships, and perhaps becomethe greatest racer in US history.Mostly from the launching pad of theRed Zinger. He later came back towin the race again as part of the LaVie Claire team. The great Columbianclimbers, Herrera, Wilches, Parraand others came to the Coors to testtheir climbing legs before going onto win several climbers jerseys in theTour de France. The real boom yearfor the Coors came in 1986, whenthe race was a prelude to the WorldChampionships in Colorado Springs,and several top European teams competedin the Coors as training for theWorlds.The Zinger/Coors was also thebest venue in the world for women'sracing, spawning other majorwomen's stage races such as the Tourde France Femenin and the Ore-Idaraces. From its beginning, the RedZinger featured the best in women'scycling. In a twist, the best ridersfrom Europe would have to come toAmerica to compete at the highestlevel of their sport. And the racingwas terrific, with annual battles forthe leader’s jersey between Frenchcycling legend Jeannie Longo, ItalianMaria Canins and American ConnieCarpenter. The field also includedWorld Champions like RebeccaTwigg and Connie Young, along withOlympic and National teams fromall over the world. For several years,the Coors was the top event for thewomen's peloton, and gave life to analmost non-existent segment of thesport, launching many careers in theprocess.Living along Colorado’s FrontRange during the late seventies andduring the eighties was like beingdropped into cycling nirvana. MostUS professional riders, severalEuropean pros, many world classtriathletes, and hordes of top amateurriders were living and training there,all trying to reach the next level.Giro winners and Tour stage winnerswere trying to become Tour winnersand World Champions, category oneracers were trying to break into theprofessional ranks and so forth. Theracing regionally each weekend wascomprised of huge fields of hundredsof riders, with most categories beingsplit into two fields to reduce thenumbers for each peloton to a limitof 125. Racing began sometimes at 6am, with the final category One/Proevent ending near dusk in order to fitin all of the races. It was a daily lifestylefor some and a career for others.And each August, it all came to astop when ‘The Coors’ came to town.The local racing calendar was empty,cyclists and enthusiasts would followthe race around like Deadheads followedtheir band, sleeping in cars orpacking hotel rooms. Others wouldtravel from all over the country, eventhe world, to be part of the event. Itwas a great time for bike racing inAmerica and it paved the road foreverything that’s come after it. And itwas great to sit and watch it all again.Thanks again Dave! You know,maybe I will meet a deadline one ofthese days, just to show my appreciationfor this great trip down memorylane. Maybe.For those who choose to ‘earn the right to use gravity’,the Prophet MX is the ideal Big-Mountain machine.Lightweight and flick-able, the Prophet frame is lightenough for ascents while the Thru-12 axle makes itplenty burly for ‘down time.’Find out why Biker’s Edge was votedTop Shops of America by BicyclingMagazine, and Top 100 Dealers inNorth America.www.bebikes.com232 N.
