> denver really is trying, and they've come a long way! i'd love to see some improvements on vehicle calming and better cycling right of way on the neighborhood bikeways, but the highest priority issue has to be biking trail connectivity.
Totally. A year or so ago they installed a protected bike lane on 23rd st crossing 25 onto water st (to connect to the south platte river trail/REI), but then it snowed and people ran over all the rubber protectors because they couldn't see them. They've since added higher reflectors, so at least they learned from their mistakes! I have a bunch of the same style on 17th by Sloan's lake, so I feel decently protected from that area to the stadium and onto the south platte river trail.
