When I lived in Salt Lake...I thought it was the BEST.

Bike lanes, and I believe Mayor Anderson mandated that any new road projects must also include bike lanes. Bicycles everywhere.

The Salt Lake City Century has all of the procedes go to cycle advocacy and cycling infrastructure.

Even outside of the city, I seldom had issues with the drivers. Maybe they're on the lookout to not hit Mormon missionaries? I don't know, but whatever the reason it worked out for me.
