Town in Colorado bans cyclists
- drallison 16y agoIf safety is the concern, why not ban both automobiles and bicycles. And if that is not adequate, people as well.
- georgecmu 16y agoExplanation they give is that they don't want to annoy visiting gamblers. In principle, it's entirely reasonable to close certain roads to cyclists, as long as these roads are not the only path to get from A to B. Requiring cyclists to walk 400 m is not at all reasonable.
- pedalpete 16y agoI wanted to see how this might affect touring cyclists, but it seems fairly easy to bypass the town of Black Hawk if you were riding in the area. http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=black+hawk+colorado&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=Black+Hawk,+CO,+USA&gl=ca&ei=IL4bTLr5MI7rnQecyMS0Cw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CB4Q8gEwAA http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=black+hawk+colorado&um=1... Not to say I agree with the new law, but I'm not going to worry about it if it isn't really going to affect anybody outside that little town.
