Become a bicycle Advocate

Opportunities for improved bicycling infrastructure such a bike lanes, bike corridors, trails and trail connections do not happen without public support. The cities and counties within the Pikes Peak region are doing what they can within limited budgets to make the region more bicycle friendly. But they need the community to support, accelerate or improve upon their proposals. And, if necessary propose our own solutions to bicycling issues.
