BOULDER—Oct. 19, 2010— Community Cycles, a nonprofit organization that educates and advocates for the safe use of bicycles, today announced the launch of a new Community Cycles program called “Clever Commuter.” As part of the program, Community Cycles will offer brown bag workshops through local employers to help employees learn how to combine bicycle commuting with public transportation.

The Clever Commuter workshops will cover:

  • Route finding and scheduling
  • Using bus bike racks and loading a bike beneath the bus
  • Navigating bus stations on a bike
  • Properly locking a bike on a rack at a bus stop or station
  • How to apply for and use a bike locker at a bus station
  • How to carry what you need for work on your bike.

As part of the program Community Cycles Bike Ambassadors will work closely with individual participants to help them “practice” bike/bus behaviors and routines. Organizers plan to host the workshops at large employers in the Boulder area while also working with social service providers and companies with a large percentage of low-income employees.

Round No. 2 of the American Cycling Association’s Colorado Cross Cup points series is set for this coming Sunday, Oct. 17, at the Aspen Lodge Ranch and Resort near Estes Park on Colorado Highway 7.

This is the first time Colorado’s ’cross community has raced at the new venue, but if the enthusiasm of Aspen Lodge CX race director Chris Grealish is any indication, it won’t be the last.

Grealish, who is also organizing the Boulder Cup North American Cyclocross Trophy National Series event, and founded Cross Vegas, says that from the moment he laid eyes on scenic mountain retreat, he knew it’d make a great ’cross venue.
