...you ride around Fort Collins with Steve Clark the LAB Bicycle Friendly Community program specialist. He was in town to assess what Fort Collins' needs to do to move from Platinum to Diamond status. It sounds like a non-negotiable is removing the bike ban on College Avenue (State Highway 287) from Laurel Street south to Harmony Road. The Colorado Department of Transportation seems to have the say here, so this might take some doing.
In his PowerPoint presentation that wrapped up our day together, Steve showed our group a variety of innovative infrastructure designs he think will enhance what Fort Collins already has. One right turn lane treatment in the presentation may work very well in Golden on Washington Avenue at the intersection of Hwy. 58, especially going west on the uphill climb. It clearly indicates that bikes should take the left side of the right turn lane as a through lane.
...you help an out-of-town cyclist with some route finding and end up riding over 30 miles together.
...you finally take time to adhere the Lucky Panda sticker (given to you by your son) to the bike you now use for commuting.
