So Mayor Ralph Becker agrees to launch April’s Utah Bike Summit with a rallying cry to make Salt Lake City more bicycle friendly.
Across the street, someone uses a bolt cutter during the speech to swipe Becker’s run-down, but beloved commuter bike.
Now, five months after the brazen theft — which spun national headlines, probably for the irony — the mayor has a new two-wheeler.
Instead of something fancy, Becker dropped by the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective, 2312 S. West Temple, on Wednesday to buy a rebuilt mountain bike to ride to work.
