Time to Talk About Speed Bumps, Denver The Mayor speaks of a vibrant and safe city. Let's start with a Denver where our kids are not afraid to cross the street.

“According to the study, this intervention would prevent on average 2.6 deaths, 117 injury crashes and 335 property damage crashes every five years. In other words, not doing this will cost lives and money.”

Take a guess if DOTI did it…

Mike Johnston compares people who advocate for street safety to a pedophile rapist.

I’m so deeply disappointed in the mayor.

The Dust-Up: Bikes are Political – Matt Mason Yes, bikes are political. Since their invention, they have been political. "Bicycle riding came to embody the individuality women were working toward with the suffrage movement. It also gave women a m...

Before the Alex Pretti Memorial Ride we received this email:

"This has nothing to do with cycling. Please focus on cycling-related political activism."

If bikes aren't political why do we keep finding ourselves talking to politicians so often to have safe streets?

Denver cyclists ride for unity and honor Alex Pretti, while demanding change Across the country, "We Ride in Unity" events were held including in Boulder, Fort Collins, Wheat Ridge, Salida, Gunnison and in other Colorado communities. Here's how Denver's ride unfolded.

”ICE is taking away our families. It's taking away our kids, and it's just really troubling and we have to do something about it.”

“When we ride together, when we protect each other. We are all better”

Well done @denverbicyclelobby.bsky.social and people of Denver

Did Pressure From Journalists Prompt an Anschutz-Owned Newspaper To Publish a Disclosure, Albeit a Weak One? After being called out by journalists for failing to disclose ties between Phil Anschutz's family and a key player in a story covered by the Denver Gazette, which Anschutz owns,...

The Gazette, Soicher reported, “did not mention that the pushback to [the traffic plan] came from the wife of Anschutz’s son. Jill Anschutz lives near the project site and organized a petition opposing the original design.”

This Saturday, all across Colorado, we ride for Alex. We ride together. We ride in unity. We ride for all the people and families impacted by ICE.

See you there!

Streets are public spaces, and everyone has a right to be safe in that space. No one should fear violence on our streets, whether from cars or from our own government. Join the @denverbicyclelobby.bsky.social on a Ride for Alex Pretti this Saturday.

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.

Imagine having a mayor who cares about cyclists. Apparently it is possible. Maybe one day it will happen here in Denver!
