Rob's Writings

This report from 1992 summarizes the state of cycling facilities on the University of Utah. It also contains a list of recommendations for enhancements to the campus. This was very much a team effort of the University of Utah Bicycle Advisory Committee, which was in place at the time and for a few years after. I was fortunate enough to be chair of the committee.

These are links to articles I have written for Cycling Utah (and thanks to the folks at CU for making them available).
