UtahMountainBiking.com  Visitor Statistics

Statistics:  Each week, UtahMountainBiking.com is visited by at least 30,000 individual visitors (unique IP addresses). The typical visitor comes to our site twice weekly. The average visitor looks at 15 pages during each visit, with median visit duration just over 4 minutes. What are our visitors looking for? No other site anywhere has as much practical injury-treatment information as our First Aid section, so it enjoys a worldwide audience. Running a close second is our straight dope on Utah's Bike Trails, used extensively by local cyclists and by out-of-state riders planning a Utah vacation. Our bike repair Fix-it pages come in 3rd. The UMB repair section has some of the most complete and practical repair advice on the web, and is used by bikers around the world. Our Goodies section is a great source for general cycling information and how-to articles, free wallpaper, screensavers, and trail videos.
