October 2005


The RTD board unanimously voted to allow bikes on the light rail at all times in all directions (previously they were not allowed in the peak periods in the peak direction) on October 18th, 2005. Their website likely won’t show this change until Spring of 2006, but go ahead and take your bike on.

We ask your help in getting the Colorado cycling community to stand up and be counted whenever one of our own is the victim of road rage. Won’t you please share this information with your members and encourage those who can to come to the sentencing? Riders are especially encouraged to wear a jersey, carry a helmet, or the like to show our strength.
