State of the SaltCycle

The recent direction that SaltCycle has taken has opened us up to more followers and views every month. The facebook group, SaltCycle team, new weekly rides, etc, have made our community blossom. We want to keep the momentum going and since a rolling stone (wheel) gathers no moss (mud), we are making some improvements to the site (and not just boring html stuff). Here are a few things you can look forward to in the next few weeks:

New weekly columns:

  • Tales from the Top Tube: Essays on bikes and riding of all kinds, fiction and nonfiction. If you have an essay on biking, here is the place to have it published.
  • A weekly spotlight on people who ride bikes in Salt Lake City. Everyone rides a bike for different reasons; we want to celebrate the diversity this little town contains.
  • The SaltCycle twitter account has been revived which means we will now be populating the Library of Congress with 140 characters of bike hashtags and goodness.  Follow us and use the #bikeSLC hashtag when you have the chance.
  • There is talk of the website getting a facelift in the next few months. This means more features, pages, better layout, and a few new things here and there. Along with all of these changes and addition to the website/blog, we have some great events in the works for the spring.
  • A digital SaltCycle calendar is in the works and will be featured monthly on the website. If you are interested in having your picture taken for this, let us know. We would like feature lots of people who love bikes.  

We are happy with the direction SaltCycle is going and the contributions everyone makes. Thank you for continuing to help build a successful bicycle community. We look forward to more bicycle fueled discussions, adventures, dinner parties, late night rides, meetings, and laughs.
