Commuter Education for Offices

3-Feet Passes! Bi-partisan Support and Grassroots Efforts Key to Success I n a flurry of activity, both the Colorado House and Senate passed the Bicycle Safety Bill in late April, and Governor Ritter signed the bill just two weeks later. The bill will go into effect Aug. 5. Bicycle Colorado now is working with statewide law enforcement training groups to make sure officers get details on the new law and with the Department of Revenue to update the Colorado Driver’s Manual.

“Bicycle Colorado is heading our state’s movement to gain equal treatment for bicyclists,” said Dan Grunig, executive director. “This bill takes a big step toward improving safety for everyone on Colorado roads.”

Bikes Rally for Stimulus Funding

A

t the beginning of the federal stimulus bill discussion, the Colorado Department of Transportation released a list of potential projects.

Other than a couple of sidewalks and shoulders on roads, bicycle projects were alarmingly absent. Bicycle Colorado immediately weighed in, participating in several CDOT meetings and providing lists of readyto-go bicycle projects around the state. We then coordinated with local advocates to convey bike needs at regional meetings.

Our combined efforts resulted in over $10 million of bicycle projects to receive funding to be built. By including bikes, stimulus founds will help Story continued on Page 7

s I see the many bicyclists on the roads and trails in these warmer months and continue to hear about the challenges we face dealing with energy supplies, health and safety, it reminds me of how important it is that Bicycle Colorado is out there working hard to make our state more bicycle-friendly.

Just this spring, we passed a Bicycle Safety Bill that directly improves bicyclists’ safety on the roads by requiring a minimum 3-foot passing distance by motor vehicles overtaking a bicyclist. Passing this bill is one of our greatest victories, as we overcame the opposition of strong professional lobby groups. The grassroots efforts of our membership and the bicycling community directly impacted this success – thank you for the many phone calls and emails you sent in support of this bill.

Bicycle Colorado is making important differences for your bicycling experience in our state.

• W e are pulling Colorado up in the national state bicycle-friendly rankings. This spring, we moved from 22nd to 13th, including a first place ranking in the legislative category.

• We received a national best practices award in recognition of our education programs, diversified funding sources and impressive growth.

• Through the news media, we are providing a positive voice for bicycling on a regular basis.

• With our guidance, mountain bikers and conservation groups are partnering to protect more of Colorado lands – instead of taking separate trails, we’re working together.

These successes, as well as our ongoing initiatives, are possible only because of you – our members. Thank you for being part of the movement to improve bicycling in our state. You can continue to make a difference by inviting your friends and teammates to join. The more of us who join together, the greater the impact we will have.

Have a fun and safe summer riding season!

Bicycle Colorado Receives National Award

B

icycle Colorado has been honored by the Washington, D.C.-based Alliance for Biking and Walking with the 2009 Best Practice Award for outstanding efforts and results. This award is in recognition of our growth and successes. The Best Practice Award is given to an organization that exemplifies successful day-to-day operations and therefore serves as a model for other bicycling and walking organizations.

We are honored to receive this recognition from our peers. The members, volunteers, board, and staff of Bicycle Colorado are committed to improving bicycling in our state. By keeping our operations focused and efficient, we are able to leverage every membership and donation into effective programming. Thanks to the Alliance for this honor.

Grant Funds Path Project B

icycle Colorado thanks the Anschutz Foundation and Brown Family Foundation for recent grants made in support of general programming and advocacy efforts.

These grants demonstrate the value gained when foundations and organizations partner with Bicycle Colorado, maximizing the financial resources available and tapping in to Bicycle Colorado’s expertise and statewide contacts.

For example, through this grant funding, Bicycle Colorado is working to facilitate the completion of the Cherry Creek Trail. This project includes the coordination of multiple municipalities and groups, including Arapahoe County, City of Centennial, City of Aurora, and local advocacy and recreation groups. As a critical piece of Front Range trail, this project positively impacts the overall quality of bicycling in the state.

The Cherry Creek Trail is a major off-street thoroughfare in the Front Range and is used heavily by bicyclists and pedestrians.

Colorado Surges Upward in Rankings Safety Bill Success Leads to #1 in Legislation

C

olorado leapt nine spots in the second year of a national ranking, and now is recognized as 13th overall for state-level bicycle-friendliness. The state ranking program is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists.

Of special note is Colorado’s number one spot in the Legislation category. Of the eight scoring items in this category, seven are due directly to Bicycle Colorado’s efforts in the state capitol, including the required three-foot minimum passing distance that was a key component of the recent Bicycle Safety Bill.

As the organization working for state level improvements bicycling in our state, Bicycle Colorado is proud to have championed many of the programs and initiatives that have brought Colorado to its current ranking, including Safe Routes to School and Share the Road education programs.

With an eye to reaching the top 10, Bicycle Colorado is continuing extensive efforts with law enforcement education and championing a statewide Complete Streets policy. Please help our cause to make Colorado the most bicycle-friendly state in the nation by becoming a member or renewing your membership.

Bike Safety Bill Provisions B

Be Safe, Be Seen

3 Feet: Enjoy a Little Breathing Room

Go With the Flow

icycle Colorado and our members are excited that the 2009 bicycle safety bill will become law on August 5, 2009. Here’s what this new law will mean to you and your riding buddies.

Bicyclists get at least 3 feet of space when vehicles pass.

To help give you 3 feet, motorists may cross the center line when clear to pass safely.

Riding with Friends

Two bicyclists can ride side-by-side on the road but should move to single-file to allow other vehicles to pass.

Ride as far right as is safe. But that doesn’t mean you have to ride in the gutter – riding in the right half of the lane often is the safest and most visible spot.

Your choice – bicyclists can ride to the far right or far left on a one-way street. Remember, still no riding upstream – ride in the same direction as traffic.

Respect for Bicyclists

It is illegal to throw objects or swerve at a bicyclist.

Courtesy leads to safety.

Help keep the movement for safer roads alive by inviting your friends and teammates to become Bicycle Colorado members.

The bill went through a surprisingly complex legislative process, including two conference committees. Passing this bill is one of Bicycle Colorado’s greatest victories, as we overcame some of the strongest professional lobby groups in the state. The grassroots efforts of our membership and the bicycling community directly impacted this success.

bi-partisan support of safe roads has made them valuable partners for the bicycling community.

“The new law makes it legal for cyclists and motorists to do what they intuitively know is the safest action,” praised Senate bill sponsor Greg Brophy. Among many safety provisions, the bill requires a minimum 3-foot passing distance by motor vehicles, reinforces bicyclists’ right to be on the road, clarifies the side-by-side rule, and prohibits throwing objects at bicyclists.

The bill sponsors, Senator Brophy (R) and Representative Michael Merrifield (D), worked diligently to ensure the bill passage throughout its many votes. Their strong

Partners with Law Enforcement S

Improving Colorado Bicycle Events

This past fall, Bicycle Colorado initiated a new set of meetings with the Colorado State Patrol in order to grow a new partnership with the shared goal of improving road safety for all road users, especially bicyclists. As a result:

Bicycle Colorado’s clinics and education classes increase event safety by improving bicyclists’ riding skills – including technical skills for riding in a group, navigating challenging mountain routes and sharing the road with motorists.

ince resolving the proposed event cap with the Colorado State Patrol in 2005, Bicycle Colorado has enjoyed many positive relationships with law enforcement agencies across the state.

• T he State Patrol has endorsed Bicycle Colorado’s work with the Bicycle Event Directors Coalition.

• B icycle Colorado participated on the formal State Patrol bicycle event permit review process.

• T he State Patrol and Bicycle Colorado are exploring joint education opportunities.

In addition to this focused work with the State Patrol, Bicycle Colorado also has developed relationships with many county sheriff departments and city/ municipal police departments and is helping facilitate relationships among local law enforcement and local bicycle advocacy groups.

A

s part of our Share the Road education outreach, Bicycle Colorado is working with bicycle event organizers and participants to ensure this summer is both fun and safe on Colorado roads.

In addition, Bicycle Colorado’s outreach manager, Scott Christopher, is developing a curriculum and training for ride safety ambassadors for Ride the Rockies and Tour de Cure. Through this program, specially trained ambassadors ride with participants and model appropriate cycling behavior, offer tips and suggestions, reinforce legal and safe behavior, and offer general assistance to riders.

New Education Encouraging Kids Manager Shares to Bike to School Summer Riding Tips B

B

icycle Colorado is pleased to announce Jenna Berman as our new education program manager.

Jenna’s background includes teaching environmental education for kids and adults, extensive work in the nonprofit sector and an enthusiasm for both mountain and road biking. Jenna works with our Safe Routes to School program and is helping teach Bicycle Colorado’s adult bicycle commuting education program this summer.

icycle Colorado’s Safe Routes to School program continued in full swing outside of the classroom during the spring, and kids on bikes are popping up around area schools and neighborhoods.

After completing bicycle and pedestrian safety education with thousands of students this past fall and winter, Bicycle Colorado staff spent the spring promoting Walking and Wheeling Weeks with schools.

This special encouragement program encourages students to use their newly learned bicycle safety and skills knowledge to pedal and walk to school.

“Now that our students have had the Safe Routes to School program, there is less traffic at school. Our kids are proud of themselves for making healthy choices both about their bodies our planet!”

– Barbara Moore, teacher at Willow Creek Elementary

Jenna Berman, Education Program Manager

Summer Riding Tips from Jenna Communicate: Everything you do on your bicycle communicates a message to drivers. Send the right message – let them know where you are going by using signals and riding where they can see you. When riding on a bike path, let people know before you pass.

A friendly “passing” or ring of your bike bell is all that it takes.

Share: Be a model bicyclist and invite friends and neighbors on a short, easy ride. Help teach them smart cycling practices and share the tips you have learned.

Recent encouragement programs in Centennial demonstrate the type of impact that bicycle and pedestrian education can make. During Walking and Wheeling Weeks, traffic congestion in front of participating schools decreased by half. More than 40 percent of these students walked or rode bicycles to school, compared to a national average of only 15 percent of students walking or riding on a regular basis.

By providing these special encouragement programs, Bicycle Colorado gives those students and families a chance to try out walking and riding and discover how easy and fun it is. Students who bike or walk to school enjoy increased fitness, more focused concentration in class, and greater appreciation for their environment.

Bicycle Colorado has taught more than 13,500 students and is scheduled to reach an additional 8,500 during the 2009-10 school year.

Buckle up: Parents, when you’re out riding with your kids, make sure their helmets fit properly. And set a good example by wearing your helmet – you are the strongest influence in ensuring they follow safe riding practices.

Use these tips and help everyone have a fun and safe summer of riding.

Commuter Education Coming to Offices

T

hrough Bicycle Colorado’s Bicycle Commuter Services program, we are educating entire workplaces about the benefits of bicycling to work and giving them the skills and knowledge to do it. In May and June, the program was piloted with IMA of Colorado Inc., an insurance brokerage and risk management firm in Denver.

Commuter classes are offered during multiple brown-bag lunch sessions, culminating with a group ride in which participants can practice confident riding skills. Classroom topics include commuter education 101, confident cycling skills, how to find your commuting route, and basic bicycle mechanics. Showing support for the program and bicycle commuting, IMA’s leaders will join employees on bicycles in a “Pedal with the Prez, Cruise with the CEO” group ride through downtown Denver before Bike to Work Day. Companies like IMA are finding that Bicycle Commuter Services fits well into their existing commitment to the health and well-being of their employees. To learn more about bringing Bicycle Commuter Services to your Colorado office, contact Maggie Thompson, assistant director, at maggie@ bicyclecolorado.org or 303-414-1544 ext 15.

Bicycle Colorado’s Dave Cowan demonstrates a quick bicycle safety check for employees at IMA of Colorado learning about bicycle commuting.

Grant Provides Resources for Student Education T

he Ludwick Family Foundation grant awarded to Bicycle Colorado in fall 2008 is making significant improvements for student bicycle education. With the funds, Bicycle Colorado purchased a fleet of bicycles and a van for transport. The bicycle fleet allows Bicycle Colorado’s Safe Routes to School program to supply complete resources to schools for outstanding bicycle education. Annual bicycle maintenance is provided by Bicycle Village.

bike shorts Alliance for Biking and Walking

Thunderhead Alliance, the national coalition of state and local bicycle and pedestrian advocacy, announced a new name: the Alliance for Biking and Walking. The organization originally adopted its name from its birthplace in 1996 at the Thunderhead Ranch in Wyoming. The Alliance for Biking and Walking has grown from a coalition of 12 organizations in 1996, to 140 united biking and walking advocacy organizations today.

Bicycle Colorado’s Dan Grunig serves as the Alliance’s board vice chairman.

RTD Ends Bike Permit Restriction

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) in the greater Denver area has taken another positive step for bicyclists. RTD has lifted the requirement for bicyclists to have a special permit to bring bicycles on light rail trains. Instead, RTD has added bike signage inside light rail cars and on doors where bikes may enter.

When the light rail first opened, RTD prohibited bicycles on trains during peak hours. RTD listened to the bicycle community and changed its policy to allow bicycles during all operating hours.

Colorado in the Spotlight at Bike Summit

A

t 2009 National Bike Summit in Washington, D.C., Colorado repeatedly shined. We were recognized as one of the states having the most attendees per state population with nearly fifty Colorado advocates making the trip. This strong showing is another indicator that Colorado is a leader in bicycling and bicycle advocacy.

Colorado folks took center stage as Bear Creek Elementary in Boulder won the James L. Oberstar Safe Routes to School Award and New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins won a platinum Bicycle Friendly Business award. Congrats to all!

Bicycle Colorado led meetings to discuss bicycling issues with the Colorado delegates and with the staff of all our state’s senators and representatives. Discussions included how bicycling helps the economy, creates jobs and improves health and the environment.

Bear Creek Elementary School was recognized for its Safe Routes to School program with the James L. Oberstar Award.

Making Trails in Colorado

B

icycle Colorado’s Trail Pros and the Bureau of Land Management, along with partners COPMOBA and IMBA, have completed spring trail building work in the Lunch Loops area of Bangs Canyon, south of Grand Junction. Six miles of sustainable shared use trail have been completed this spring.

Special thanks to the many volunteers who came out for three days of trail building in March. Trail work will resume in the fall. The Bangs Canyon project, which began in fall 2007, will result in more than 30 miles of singletrack within riding distance from town.

Q&A

Know your rights

Q:

By Brad Tucker, Attorney

Brad Tucker is an avid cyclist, a member of Bicycle Colorado, and an attorney with a specialty in bicycle liability and insurance issues with ColoBikeLaw.com. If you have questions concerning legal issues affecting cyclists, you can contact him by email at law@bicyclecolorado.org. Certain questions will be selected for publication in future issues.

I am now car-free and commute solely by bike. Can I get any kind of bike insurance to replace my car insurance so I am covered in case of a crash?

– Jerry K. Fort Collins

A:

Great question, Jerry. More of us are choosing to become car-free, utilizing only our bikes, public transportation and an occasional rental car. Now that you have left your car behind, it is important to maintain appropriate insurance coverage. Unfortunately, a significant number of cars on the road are not insured. As a cyclist, it is important that you have uninsured motorist coverage in place to pay for your damages if you are the victim of a car versus bike crash caused by an uninsured motorist. Additionally, if you do not have health insurance, it is particularly important to have medical payments coverage, as well. I consulted local State Farm agent Scott Bristol, who also is an avid cyclist and competitive bike racer. It is possible to purchase

coverage on you as an individual, rather than on a car that you own. Scott ran quotes for this “non-owner operator policy,” assuming that the insured person had a good driving record and credit score.

For example, a non-owner operator policy would provide $25,000 uninsured motorist and medical payments coverage up to $5,000 for a premium of $145 every six months. For significantly higher coverage up to $250,000 and medical payments coverage up to $25,000, the six-month premium is estimated at $260.

This type of policy would protect you if you were hit and injured by an uninsured vehicle while on your bicycle. The policy also would serve as additional coverage to the liability coverage available if the motorist involved did have insurance.

While there is certainly a cost to obtaining this type of insurance, you are saving thousands of dollars by going car-free, and you should definitely consider purchasing as much insurance protection as makes sense for your circumstances.

Progress in Bike Access and Land Protection

A

ctions on the national level are providing new provisions for both improved bicycle access and land protection in Colorado.

Public Lands Bill In March, President Obama signed the Omnibus Public Lands Bill, providing protection for hundreds of thousands of acres in Colorado’s backcountry. The bill included a great example in Colorado of utilizing two designations to protect more land than is possible with a single designation.

The newly created Dominquez-Escalante National Conservation Area includes the Dominquez Canyons Wilderness Area to keep more land pristine and ensure that quiet use recreation like bicycling may continue.

Rule to Open National Parks to Bikes The Department of the Interior issued a rule in December that would give park superintendents greater say in managing national park trail uses. The rule would create a manageable system to determine which trails to open for bicycling, treating bicycles like other non-motorized trail users. The public comment period for this proposed rule was earlier this year.

Colorado Roadless Areas Bicycle Colorado is partnering with other non-motorized conservation groups to ensure Colorado’s upcoming policy on state roadless areas keeps them roadless. We are working collectively to protect these valuable areas and allow them to remain pristine.

A bicyclist rides near Vail. Select trails in national parks may be open to bicycling due to a new rule from the Department of the Interior.

CDOT Director Speaks on Complete Streets

T

he executive director of the Colorado Department of Transportation, Russell George, spoke this spring on a panel titled Financing Living Streets.

Committee discussed the policy during their May meeting and is expected to take action later this summer.

When asked by Bicycle Colorado’s Dan Grunig about the status of CDOT’s draft Bicycle and Pedestrian Policy, George didn’t have a specific time frame but did reply, “Bike and ped is part of what we do.” Speaking to the draft policy, George added, “As we design everything here on out, we will accommodate these principles.”

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Policy is a result of many years of work by Bicycle Colorado’s Complete Streets program. The Transportation Commission Intermodal
