Bicycle Colorado is the nonprofit organization dedicated to building a bicycle-friendly Colorado.
We are supported by thousands of members who realize that we need to work together to protect the rights of bicyclists – or risk losing them. We work for more bike lanes and paths, better education and trails, and bicycle-friendly laws. Our efforts are primarily focused at the state and regional level since that’s where so many of the policy decisions that affect bicyclists are made.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Some of our recent successes include:
- Ending the State Patrol’s damaging cap on bicycling events
- Gaining hundreds of miles of new shoulders for bicycling on state roads
- Changing the law to allow bicyclists to ride side-by-side when safe
- Securing $8.9 million for Colorado communities to develop bicycle routes to schools
- Ending the bicycle ban on the Central City Parkway
- Ensuring mountain biker representation in the planning and preservation of open space lands
- Ending the ban on racing events in northern Colorado
- Changing the law to allow bicyclists to signal right turns with the right hand & ending the law that required bicyclists to dismount in a crosswalk
- Protecting and improving important mountain bike trails
- Gaining 24 hour access for bicycles on light rail trains
But success would not be possible without bicycling supporters like you, so please join us – it’s the most effective route to better riding.
