This year's edition of the Colorado Koppenberg only took 2 tries to pull off and this years version was epic! Yesterdays epic conditions came from the wind with speeds measured at 50mph a little after 10am!. Having raced in those conditions at the Koppenberg before I know how frustrating it can be as a racer when dealt with such evil conditions. By the time the men's pro wave went off the wind had died down considerably but still a major factor in the race. First race report comes from Cari Higgins

Bicycle Colorado Teams up with State Patrol

Submitted by Kris Thompson on

Spring is coming and that means the wind and the big group rides. The majority of the group rides out there are ethical but there are a few that do more than cross the line. Bicycle Colorado is doing their part to educate riders and motorist on the law... with the law as Scott Christoher rides with the Colorado State Patrol. In addition to riders they are also looking for motorist who create dangerous situations for cyclist.

Scott Christopher, Bicycle Colorado outreach manager, recently joined Master Trooper Shannon Schwanke for a day patrolling Colorado roads. Trooper Schwanke said that he does stop bicyclists, usually to offer education on obeying traffic laws.

"I focus on unsafe situations that could put the bicyclist at risk," said Schwanke. Most enforcement during the ride-along involved speeding by motorists and expired vehicle registrations. Bicyclists observed during the day were following the rules of the road.

Schwanke has two key messages for the bicycle community: 1) Bicyclists can be ticketed for traffic violations; 2) The best reaction to aggressive motorists is to report the license plate number to the Aggressive Driver Hotline (dial *CSP on your cell phone for Colorado State Patrol).

See Mike's Cycle Gallary

Did you know I love bikes? Surprising huh? I've bought a few beautiful cycling posters at excel and I have some others from World Cycling Productions but no cycling paintings. I've told my wife that she should let me frame my Waterford CX frame, it's like 2 birds with one stone, I get to have a great frame for 5-ish years and when I retire it we can put it up on the wall. She's not buying it but what I can talk her into is maybe getting one of these nice paintings by local artist Mike Brouse. Relative to most art, these things are very reasonably priced $275-$900 (no way will I pay more for this then a new built up Primus Mootry I could ride!). As an added bonus, 10% of all bicycles on oil painting purchases go to the World Bicycle Relief Program

Revival - the film at Boulder Indoor Cycling

THE REVIVAL from morehartfilms on Vimeo.

This Saturday at the Boulder Velodrome a few folks (coastless.com and boulderfixedgear )will be showing the movie "Revival". The activities get underway at 7:30pm with a trick contest, raffle and DJ jamming. Come check out a growing movement in cycling, fixie trick riding! I personally use a fix gear every winter on the dirty roads of Boulder but my intent is purely fitness but nevertheless I love the concept of the fixed gear machine.
