Happy Holidays SaltCyclers! As a Christmas present to the community we have started a new column that will appear once a week, “Caught On A Bike In Salt Lake City”. This column will feature people we meet who ride bikes, to showcase the diversity of the Salt Lake cycling scene.

Meet our first spot light, Carly, who hails from Wisconsin and recently moved to Salt Lake. Check the blog every Friday for a new edition of Caught on a bike.

Name: Carly Monahan

Job:Fire effects monitoring technician.

Home Town: Milwaukee Wisconsin

Bike: 90’s Trek. I can’t remember the model, I covered the bike in stickers.

Favorite place to ride in SLC: I don’t have a favorite place to ride yet. I like that I can ride anywhere in Salt Lake.

Favorite Restaurant: The Korean BBQ that has the Mexican bakery and ice cream parlor in the same complex.

Hopes and dreams for cycling: Because I move around a lot, it is nice to see cycling become more prevalent. My hopes and dreams for biking are that it will continue to become more prevalent and accessible. I lived in Madison, Wisconsin for a summer and could bike any where. So many people ride bikes, I could set my watch by the people I saw on my commute.

One piece of bike gear you can’t live without: My bike lock! I got my bike stolen once in college (same bike she rides now) and it was so stressful. Luckily the person was really just borrowing it.
