A strategy to accelerate change for better bicycling Bicycling has the power to transform people, economies and communities. It powers healthy lifestyles and instills a sense of exploration, freedom and independence in all those who pedal. You know this. We know this. And right now our governor is focusing on bicycling as a way to transform our state into an even better place to live, work and play. “Our goal is to make Colorado the best state for biking in the country,” Governor Hickenlooper said in September as he formally launched the Colorado Pedals Project, a significant public and private investment in biking over the next four years. He reiterated that message at our Colorado Bicycle Summit in February, following a conversation about the Pedals Project by bike czar Ken Gart and our own Dan Grunig. The Colorado Pedals Project is working to improve and increase opportunities for people to bike not just because we love the outdoors, or want to open up more opportunities for kids to get outside and be active, or even because we love biking, but also because bicycling is a huge economic driver and has the potential to be an even greater benefit to our state than it already is.
GETTING ENERGIZED AT THE COLORADO BICYCLE SUMMIT This year we brought in Mikael Colville-Andersen, a dynamic speaker from Copenhagen, Denmark, who challenged us to add bike lanes, narrow travel lanes and connect our disjointed bicycle infrastructure. “Why don’t we design bicycle infrastructure like we design everything else?” he said, encouraging us to design infrastructure with humans in mind. © David M.

SPRING/SUMMER 2016
The Colorado Pedals Project aims to get more families riding
Colorado has been among the top ten bicycle friendly states in the country for many years. So it’s great to get a little reminder that we still have a ways to go to reach the top. Colville-Andersen compared bicycle infrastructure in Colorado with an incomplete chair. We wouldn’t ask people to sit down in a chair that is missing pieces, but we do ask people to use bicycle infrastructure that is missing connections.
Following Colville-Andersen, we were honored to have the executive director of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) give the plenary presentation. Paralleling the chair analogy, Shailen Bhatt recounted the story of cycling home from the opening of the US 36 Bikeway just after he moved to Colorado last year, sharing that he’s “lucky to be alive” after ending up on Highway 287 (Federal Boulevard) for a stretch of the ride. It is validating to hear the executive director of our department of transportation acknowledge that bicycle infrastructure is incomplete in Colorado—and that it’s a problem. But what really counts is the changes that Continued on page 3 Building a bicycle-friendly Colorado | bicyclecolorado.org
Bicycle Colorado’s mission is to encourage and promote bicycling, increase safety, improve conditions and provide a voice for cyclists in Colorado.

Letter from Ella and Dan Expanding the bicycling community with your support Bicycle Colorado members and donors like you are the core of our cycling community. You provide the resources that make it possible for us to step up to new opportunities and challenges, and we thank you for your generosity. As you will read in the cover story, Bicycle Colorado is expanding this year to do more to create a better bicycling environment in Colorado. With this growth, we are also reaching out to new groups to broaden and strengthen our community. Bicycling has so much room to grow and several new programs are helping us reach out to those who are not yet engaged. We recently launched the Bicycle Colorado Bike School to teach children and adults to ride. Once the school gets rolling, we also plan to offer classes on confident commuting, fixing flat tires and other topics. The more people who bike, the safer it becomes for everyone. Through the Women Bike Colorado group, more and more women are stepping forward in support of bicycling. At this time last year, we had just launched the group. Since then, it has taken off—1,500 members, an advisory committee and regular meetups. Our event member program features premier cycling events in Colorado and other states. More events are helping financially support the advocacy work we do to make it safer and easier for everyone to ride a bike in Colorado. Thank you to all of our event members for your valuable contribution to Colorado cycling. Individual members, event members and business members are the strength behind our legislative campaigns. Thank you to all those who called or wrote your senators and representatives during this year’s legislative session. Please take a look at our website to learn about the outcome of our efforts to hold drivers more accountable when they seriously injure people biking or walking. As always, thank you for your continued support of better bicycling in Colorado.

are happening within the department that are poised to accelerate change for better bicycling in Colorado.
CDOT EXPANDS COMMITMENT TO BIKING AND WALKING Last fall, Colorado’s Transportation Commission, which directs CDOT, voted to continue our state’s award-winning Safe Routes to School program, an exciting development after Safe Routes funding was put into jeopardy following ten successful years of the program.
Building and connecting trails will create more opportunities for families to get out and enjoy bicycling. But for those who have never had access to trails, it’s not enough to take an “if you build it, they will come” approach. Programming is needed to introduce families to these new trails. That’s why we will also be launching a pilot program in underserved communities to promote active transportation.
This is one example of progress. In addition, the department is incorporating more biking and walking planning into their projects, adopting measures to track compliance with Colorado’s Complete Streets law and has designated lead planners for bicycling and walking in each of the five regions in the state.
IMPROVING OUR TRAIL SYSTEMS AND CYCLING FOR BETTER HEALTH In addition to our state road network, an incredibly important part of the bicycling network in Colorado is our trail system. Our trails are used by Coloradans every day for recreation and a healthy form of transportation. Along with health benefits, trails can have a very positive economic impact. For example, in Fruita it is estimated that mountain biking contributes approximately $25 million to the local economy each year. That is 15 percent of the entire county’s annual budget.

In March, CDOT hosted a Complete Streets Summit for CDOT staff in partnership with the Colorado Pedals Project. The summit included executive management, regional bicycle and pedestrian representatives, traffic engineers, as well as staff from maintenance, ADA and transit working together to celebrate success stories and identify important opportunities to elevate the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians in the planning, design and operation of transportation facilities across the state. CDOT executive director Shailen Bhatt spoke at the summit
BICYCLE COLORADO IS GROWING In order to step up to the challenge of helping Colorado become the best state for bicycling, Bicycle Colorado is growing. In January, we brought on Rachel Hultin as our active transportation manager to work on the policy team and help Colorado communities connect with opportunities to improve bicycling locally and work more collaboratively with the state. Soon we’ll be adding another person to the policy team to work locally in the Denver area. And we will be bringing on more staff as needed for specific initiatives. These new staff will allow us to expand the scope of our existing work, as well as increase our capacity and allow us to launch new projects like the Bicycle Colorado Bike School, which is kicking off its first season in Denver with help from a New Belgium grant.
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER In addition to the many bicycling-related projects that are happening in various state departments, we are working with each of these departments to create a cross-departmental task force that will help move bicycling priorities forward faster.
At the summit, kids showed Gov. Hickenlooper why they love to ride
Governor Hickenlooper recently announced 16 highest priority trail projects for this year, and in his speech at the summit, the governor pledged to visit all of these ‘16 in 2016’ project sites. Great Outdoors Colorado has announced funding that local governments can apply for to help construct trail projects like these.
In fact, three state departments, the Office of Economic Development and International Trade, CDOT and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment are already collaborating to quantify the economic and health impact of bicycling in Colorado. This study, expected to be completed this summer, will be instrumental in securing future funding to continue to push for improvements for bicycling and walking in our state. On their own, the changes at Bicycle Colorado and in state government will each help move the needle for bicycling in Colorado, but together they will be a powerful force that will allow us to leap forward in bicycle friendliness.
