Cyclists Lose a Round
Last summer I wrote about Black Hawk's cycling ban. The news since then hasn't been good for cyclists.
In 2009, the Black Hawk Board of Aldermen passed a law giving them the right to ignore state traffic regulations and prohibit bicycles within their city. In 2010, they passed a law banning cycling on most Black Hawk streets.
Several cyclists were ticketed under the ordinance, including three cyclists on a loop from Golden through Idaho Springs, Central City, Black Hawk and back to Golden. They were ticketed for riding on Gregory Street, the only road connecting Central City to Black Hawk.
The cyclists challenged their tickets, arguing the ordinance is a violation of state law. Their arguments are many and convincing.
