complex. If your interested in participating in the event please contact

TWO GREAT RESOURCES...
|
|
The site www.RoadGuardian.com
is a tool cyclists can use to report, mark and share cycling incidents
and trouble spots. Once shared, cyclists can use the information to
plan safe routes to ride by avoiding potentially risky routes. The
goal here is to save cyclists' lives and make cycling safer for
everyone.
(Excerpt from Bicycle Colorado)
Aggressive
Driving Hotline Open for Bicyclists' Use
Bicyclists have an important tool
available to help keep roads friendly. Bicycle
Colorado worked with the
Colorado State Patrol to ensure their "Star CSP"
Aggressive Driver Hotline also takes reports from bicyclists on the roads. We
have a full description of how to use this tool at www.BicycleColorado.org/to/starCSP. Here is a brief
outline.
If you encounter aggressive
motorist behavior, simply dial *CSP (*277) on your cell phone. When dialing *CSP, be
prepared to communicate: · License plate number - this is required to file a report · Location
and direction of travel · Vehicle
and driver description, if possible · Description
of aggressive driving behavior

ROAD TO VICTORY A SUCCESS!
|
|
The Road to Victory charity ride to support th e Davis Phinney Foundation
for Parkinsons Research was last Sunday and a big shout out to Marcus
and all the volunteers that put on a great event! Doubling the
participation over last year the ride was well organized and I must
save the first stop in Niwot had one of the best breakfast food of any
event I've ever ridden in! Lots of cycling celebrities turned out to
support the ride. The Boulder Beer Company opened it's doors on a Sunday
to host the event and Jeff Brown and company once again showed his
continued support of the cycling community. |
