34: Making Bicycling Better – Bike Colorado Springs

Get to know a local non-profit whose mission is to make bicycling in the Pikes Peak region better for people of all ages and abilities. Cory Sutela sits in for Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort’s Torie Giffin as host. He’s joined by three key volunteers for Bike Colorado Springs.

The organization works with the city traffic engineering and advocates to improve safety and bike infrastructure. They also provide or promote training programs to help motorists be more bike friendly, and to coach bicyclists on how to improve safety and avoid stressing motorists. They’ve provided motorist training for Mountain Metro, Olympic and Paralympic Committee, library district employees and many others.
