June 2008 Issue - Cycling Utah

JUNE 2008 cycling utah.com 21Bicycles on UTA’s FrontRunner Commuter RailBicycle commuting is good business. It reduces the number of automobiletrips to and from work while promoting clean air, easing congestionand creating more livable communities. With gas prices skyrocketing,and the recent opening of the Utah Transit Authority’s commuter rail trainFrontRunner, a renewed interest has been spurred in coordinating bicycleswith public transit. Here’s a guide to help navigate the system:FrontRunner trains, which run from Ogden to Salt Lake City, havethree cars per train. Unlike TRAX, FrontRunner bike riders are notrequired to stand with their bicycles. There are tie-downs next to thesouthern door on each car for both the protection of passengers, andtheir bikes. In the near future, UTA is working to expand FrontRunner’sbicycle carrying capacity. Currently, there are bike racks at each of theseven FrontRunner stations, and UTA will also be adding 30 bike lockersthroughout the system. Bicycle lockers can currently be rented with a onetimerefundable key deposit of $65 and an annual rental fee of $10. Thelockers completely enclose the bicycle protecting it from the elements andhiding it from view. Lockers are available on a first come first serve basis.To be put on the waiting list for bike lockers, please contact Pat Dierks atpdierks@rideuta.com or 801-287-2062.UTA is also studying the possibility of a bike storage facility at SaltLake Central Station at the Intermodal Hub.For more information visit www.rideuta.com.6.

State legislatures haveenacted laws in 2007 and 2008ranging from increasing the responsibilitiesof motorists and cycliststo handling federal money and addingsafety provisions, according tothe State Traffic Safety Legislationdatabase maintained by the NationalConference of State Legislatures.States mainly put new responsibilitieson cyclists or drivers insteadof starting new safety programs oradding funding.Colorado proved an exception.Last year, it started a “share theroad” license plate non-commercialauto owners can buy for a $50 specialtyplate fee and a $25 tax-deductiblecontribution to a Share the RoadEducation Fund, earmarked forsafety education of motorists , bicyclistsand officials in bike safety andother crash prevention and relatedactivities. The program will continuenext year if 3,000 motorists buy aplate this year.And while it didn’t provide anystate money, the busy Hawaii legislaturepassed a law guaranteeing a3.

A similar rule is pending inCalifornia. (In Illinois, the samelegislation allows bicyclists to signala right turn by right arm extension inaddition to the traditional left handmove.)Washington state took a differentapproach: it added bicycle safetyas a topic in drivers education curriculum.And while those states dealt withmotorist responsibilities, Californiadealt with cyclists’ responsibilities.The state now requires bicyclists touse lights and reflectors while ridingon sidewalks and bikepaths at night.Previous law required them only forstreet riding. And the law requiringreflectors on pedals was modified toinclude shoe/ankle reflective material.5. Colby Tanner ; Spin Cycle Racing 2:53:376. Sam Todd ; Porcupine Cycling 2:53:377.

Anyone renting bikes tominors must also supply a helmet,though they can charge a “reasonable”fee. But four other statesdefeated helmet legislation, which isstill pending in two others.Wyoming enacted a provisionsure to enrage some high-speedbicyclists when it forbade them fromusing a road in the presence of anadjacent bike path.NCSL reported bills still pendingbefore 13 legislatures (includingsome of those above and the Districtof Columbia)ranging banning talkingon a cellphone while ridinga bicycle to requiring highwaysto include adequate shoulders forcyclists and clarifying exactly howto define a bicycle (such as excludingtricycles). But no one evendropped a bike safety bill in the hopperin either Utah or Idaho, accordingto the database.7. Michael Adams ; C4 2:51:118. Jeff Clawson ; Canyon Bicycles Draper 2:51:119.
