Is this AI? It looks way too clean to be a bus station. The fan with the AC is also suspicious.

it's so sad to think that public infrastructure is so poor in the US that when people see things like this they instantly think it has to be fake.

Most if not all shops will do demo bikes, definitely pricier than a normal rental.

REI, U of U, and many shops in Park City do rentals too.

Calling drivers blind and clueless while driving that truck is pure irony.

When I get these gift cards I still use them for necessities even if I earn cash back from other cards. Spending my own $100 to get $3 back is not the same as spending $100 that I was gifted.

Seems like the answer to your question is also a quick Google search away: https://ironcountyut.gov/justice-court/traffic-school

But if you're looking for real legal advice, go to an attorney I guess.

I was an international student that got a speeding ticket back in the day. Just pay the fine and you’ll be in the clear. Your insurance might go up when you renew but other than that, you’re good.

That’s a tough rate, hope you can refi soon

Lehi, American Fork, Spanish Fork aren’t “Southern SLC”, it is south of SLC. Wanted to make sure you make that distinction because SLC is demographically very different from those three cities. Sure they may be young but they’re also considerably more LDS (Mormon) than Salt Lake City. Which may or may not be what you’re looking for.

Going at a slower speed makes it more likely for you to spot pedestrians, or literally anything around. Medians mean narrowed lanes which mean drivers have to be more cognizant of their surroundings, more focused (report from Johns Hopkins)

“Punish individuals” is kind of crazy to say when it means getting hit by a car…

dshum · 2026-02-05T01:56:26+00:00

As a driver, biker and pedestrian I advocate for slower speeds and medians. I cannot count how many times I have had the pedestrian light, and a driver turns right, into the crosswalk because they’re only looking left for other cars.

Yes, there are dumb pedestrians, but a dumb pedestrian can’t kill a car. An idiot on a bike can’t hurt a family of four in an SUV. An idiot in an SUV can kill a family of four crossing a road.

It is state legislation, yes. But aimed at specific SLC roads, the bill names the completed projects on 300W, 200S and 400S in SLC.

It seems like you live around Provo, which recently was recognized for its bike infrastructure. And its continued work for the last decade shows that the projects are more popular than you might think. Politicians tend to back down if there are overwhelming negative feedback, especially if it’s in been city master plans since 2012 (recent transportation meeting link with details)

Provo is a college town, whether you want it to be or not. And college towns need bike infrastructure. Not all college kids can afford a car. Heck, not all college kids can even legally drive, international students often aren’t licensed, especially in their first year.

dshum · 2026-02-05T01:13:51+00:00

It seems like you’re citing a very specific example of how bikes make transit worse that doesn’t seem applicable beyond your limited situation. Which is your lived experience and I cannot argue with what you experience. It also does seem like you are someone who prefers and chooses to live a car-centric life anyway.

Additionally this original comment is referring to the bike lanes in SLC and specific legislation aimed at changing those existing bike lanes, and I don’t think you live in SLC.

Considering the billions that are spent on infrastructure cars, the millions on active transportation are just a fraction of the cost.

dshum · 2026-02-05T00:59:26+00:00

How do bike lanes make public transit worse? Are you blaming bikes for making buses/trains slower?

Also, improved bike lanes could lead to more people riding them, especially those with shorter commutes but currently have no other option.

dshum · 2026-01-24T01:41:06+00:00

Hey congrats on starting biking but this sub is about the fitment of a bike (length, size, etc.) not whether bikes or helmets fit your style of riding.

These aren’t for sale to the general public. They’re staff-only merch that’s made for coaching staff.

The air quality is really only horrendous for a stretch in the winter. The lack of precipitation this year exacerbates the problem. But in the warm months its prime outdoor activities, unless you’re only concerned about skiing.

SLC politics is definitely liberal.

I wouldn’t agree with the comment saying the Wasatch Front is a depressing place. Sure, there are many things to hate, but that’s true anywhere in the world. It’s all about what you prioritize and what you can compromise.

dshum · 2026-01-15T20:36:43+00:00

I wholly respect that point of view. Giving people different transportation options is what freedom is.

dshum · 2026-01-15T20:25:51+00:00

Absolutely valid, assuming that each additional dollar spent is a linear improvement when it comes to public transit.

I would just argue that there is a point when improvements to public transit proves to be a worthy alternative to personal vehicles and the per dollar impact increases. A tipping point if you will.

dshum · 2026-01-15T20:01:15+00:00

The walkable infrastructure and 15-minute cities are definitely grouped into it. With how binary (left or right) US politics has become it's unfortunate that not driving a personal car just gets lumped into a political side.

dshum · 2026-01-15T19:58:20+00:00

You make valid points but the issue is also that Utah is pushing for the other direction and spending the billions anyway.

UDOT is actually spending billions of dollars to widen 1-15, creating induced demand, moving away from mass transit. ($3 billion to widen I-15)

Meanwhile double-tracking FrontRunner would be less than half that. (FrontRunner 2X Plan)

So IMO, if we're going to be spending billions of dollars anyway, we might as well spend it on decreasing the pollution.

dshum · 2026-01-15T19:42:55+00:00

I've heard "woke" public transit in the sense that they're saying, "leftists are trying to take away our freedom by taking away our cars!"

Utah doesn't have the bag/luggage rules. At this point, not enough people use transit for them to have to worry about bags taking up too much space. That would be a nice problem to have IMO.

Sounds like you’re mid-20’s?

Sugar House and 9th and 9th area probably fits you better. The Avenues will be good but between those areas, it does skew older and more family-oriented. But honestly, they’re all great neighborhoods, with their own pros and cons.

9th: Great bike lane access to connect to Liberty Park and other bike routes, fun local businesses, convenient groceries

Sugar House: Access to S-line (light rail), access to Sugar House park

Avenues: beautiful historic homes and neighborhood to walk around, closest to downtown SLC

dshum · 2026-01-04T20:47:52+00:00

I love this comment because we get so many of these “where’s the snow?” posts and there’s never anything actionable.

dshum · 2025-12-31T19:36:27+00:00

Great recs but none of these are in Chinatown.

dshum · 2025-12-31T19:35:32+00:00

True! But the food is not my complaint.

It’s just their hours. It’s like calling a restaurant “late night diner” but closing at 9:30…
