Hi all! The next meeting of Boulder Bicycle Commuters will be Monday, November 6th at 7pm in the Commons Room at the Boulder Co-op Market at the Southeast...
The next meeting of Boulder Bicycle Commuters will be TONIGHT Monday, November 6th at 7pm at the Boulder Co-op Market at the Southeast corner of 19th and Pearl...
Community Cycles and Spokes Community Bicycle Project are two non-profits that will be collecting used bicycles, parts and accessories Wednesday November 15,...
I doubt they're the cheapest, but I recommend REI on the mountain side of 28th St. between Walnut and Canyon. I recommend REI because they're a co-op. Aloha, ...
At the last BBC meeting the question was asked, "Are there similar traffic volumes on Arapahoe and Canyon?" I asked Bill Cowern, city traffic engineer. He...
One other obstacle to changes on Canyon is the fact that it's a state highway and therefore CDOT wields considerable influence over what goes on there....
As a driver and bicyclist my thinking goes... since I am in the car I will use the more car friendly roads like Canyon so that the bikes can use the less...
... Arapahoe, we would still have space for the cars and bike lanes. The issue came up a couple of years ago at a BBC meeting. At the time I said that I'd...
Does anyone know about the plans for North 28th Street? I know they are working on an underpass on Iris to connect Elmer's Two-Mile to the Wonderland trail....
I agree. Why should we encourage riding on the most polluted and congested streets when there are quiet parallel streets? We should have gotten the city to put...
I agree. Normally, my bicycle politics are more Martin Luther King/integration/equal rights-oriented, but since we're talking about bicycles rather than race,...
Is there a reason why the bike path on 30th between Arapahoe and Canyon has unexpected curbs at the two intersections (Walnut, and CompUSA's street)? If you...
... Hmm, haven't been on that. I watched the whole project with interest, but now that you mention it, I realize I stay on the east side of 28th, getting on...
Barry, your source of information is good. Yes, there is a plan to connect the Goose Creek Path north to the existing Elmer's 2-Mile path including an...
I think the short answer is, yes. The city does think this is safer. Accident statistics seem to indicate that it is safer, and more studies are being done....
But I believe the real reason has nothing to do with bikes. This design allows the city to install high-speed turn lanes, which allows cars to turn right...
BBC complained a decade ago about this design, the example then being Arapahoe between Folsom and 30th, at least the N. side. The City spent a huge ammount...
If it's safer, it's because cyclists find alternative routes, or slow down markedly. Speeding up cars does NOT make life safer. These obstructions endanger not...
How about getting those "bikes take the lane" stencils painted onto northbound 30th between Arapahoe and Canyon? There's a bike lane on northbound 30th south...
... And that's why I always ride (fast!) in the street on 30th street from Arapahoe to Pearl. I hate that design. It forces you to deal with curbs and make...
... Add me into the list of people who hurt themselves at one of those intersections. It was at night, I had a light, I was riding normally (not fast), East...
Frankly, if people are getting hurt, I suggest a lawsuit against the city. It'll make great press, Mark ... -- http://www.markrichert.com 303-596-6473 ...

I'm new to Colorado and have quickly discovered that those sage thorns cause lots of flats. I've have 2 already in my first 150 miles of riding. So I'm...
I swore off goo-filled tubes years ago after having my hands covered in sticky green mess for the rest of my ride. They're also about twice the price of...
I have had good luck with slime tubes; they are more expensive but last a lot longer. If you're not up for the gooey green stuff, you can also get slime-esque...
