This summer Rocky Mountain PBS is airing a series of videos on Livable Streets. This concept is similar to new urbanism or simply learning to enjoy life more locally outside of your car, this includes more biking and/or walking. One of these videos (notice this show below has more than one in it) focuses on bikes and livable streets.

If you live or work in Boulder, GO Boulder/city of Boulder would like to know what you think of the bike parking that is provided around town. Can you park your bike safely and conveniently at work, where you shop, near your town home or condominium, at your fitness center? Do you have ideas on how to improve bike parking? These are some of the questions that are asked on the city's online Bike Parking Survey.

To take the online survey and for more information on the Bike Parking Update project, visit www.bikeparkingpublic.com/ As a thank you for taking the survey, participants will receive a free Boulder Bicycle and Pedestrian Map ($3 value) and will be entered into a drawing to win a Performance Bicycle bike repair kit ($120 value).

"The survey results will help the city to update its bike parking requirements for both residential and commercial developments," said GO Boulder Bicycle and Pedestrian Planner Marni Ratzel. "We hope people will take five minutes to fill out the online survey and let us know their thoughts to be sure that the update includes what the community really needs."

Just the highlights of what's going on this weekend, it's summer so everywhere you turn there is a cycling event going on.

The Good

USA National Mountain Bike Championships are this weekend in SolVista Colorado. National events like this are amazing to spectate so consider this if you want to have a easy weekend.

Full Cycles of Boulder is hosting a Bike Scavenger Hunt Sunday. Do it as a team or go solo, either way it sounds like fun.

The Bad

The New Belgium Urban Assault Ride rolls into Fort Collins this weekend, check out their photos to get a better understanding of what its like.

The Ugly

Mt Evan's Hill Climb is this Saturday, for all of those whom have never done this before I wish you good luck! Evans is the highest paved road in North America, the race starts at elevations higher than many races in France finish at! Tom Danielson is going for the course record of 1:41:20.
