Cyclist Ticketed at Stop Signs

Unfairly targeted

by police?

Today, June 20, I was one of apparently many people ticketed by the Boulder County Sheriff's Department while riding my bike through Jamestown. My crime? I failed to put my foot down and come to a complete stop at a stop sign. Instead, I slowed to a crawl, looked to see if anyone was coming from the left side (no one was) and proceeded when I determined it was safe.

Apparently, the failure to actually put a foot down makes me a hazard to society. How frustrating when I'm one of the cyclists who actually supports stronger enforcement of single-file riding on winding roads when there is no wide shoulder or bike lane, and who actually supports policing of downhill speeding cyclists. I strive to be safe, and a $111 ticket -- no warning -- is my reward.

Furthermore, the officers came today to Jamestown with the goal of harassing cyclists. There were 4-5 police officers standing about 20 feet back from the stop sign, just pulling us over one by one, giving no one any warnings. No wonder the Boulder County Sheriff's Department has such a bad relationship with the cycling community. Thanks a lot, guys.

This has been a developing story on 303 for the past few months, first with Notice of the trail awareness post, and later with the notice of the open house which is tomorrow. While the open house will host no decisions it still will be a very tense setting given the tension between the county and landowners over the proposed new trail.

This will be an interesting trail once completed and it is important to make sure that the tensions created by the landowners doesn't halt its production. There has got to be a compromise that all parties can find.

Below is all the information on the Open House and the Website that explains everything
