Paths
if
a
bicycling
system
is
really
going
to
work,
you
have
to
be
able
to
reach
any
destination
by
bicycle.
So
we've
been
systematically
chipping
away,
trying
to
make
progress
at
that,
both
through
building
good
bicycling
infrastructure,
but
also
trying
to
make
smart
decisions
about
how
cars
operate
in
this
community.
One.
F
Of
the
great
things
about
Boulder
is
the
really
little
details
are
paid
attention
to
for
the
cyclist,
many
of
it.
The
curb
cuts
are
really
well
done
so
when
the
traffic
goes
through,
there'll
be
a
little
spot
for
the
bicyclists
to
go
through.
It
just
makes
bicycling
this
pleasurable
seamless
experience.

Here
we
are
standing
in
downtown
Boulder
under
Pearl
Street
Mall.
If
you
were
to
go
back
in
a
40
years,
we
right
now
we'd
be
about
to
get
run
over
by
a
truck
because
we'd
be
standing
in
the
middle
of
the
street.
The
city
in
the
1970s.
The
community
really
made
the
decision.
If
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
compete
as
a
community
that
our
downtown
could
not
feel
like
a
shopping
mall,
but
the
downtown
had
to
have
the
character
of
a
true
downtown.
B
K
Frequent
hiker
and
encourage
kids
to
ride
bikes
to
school
and
how
it
works
is
the
kids
ride
under
this
meter
in
the
morning
before
school,
and
they
hear
a
ding
and
they
get
counted.
The
computer
chip
is
on
their
helmet,
so
we
encourage
kids,
they
have
to
ride
with
a
helmet.
On
an
average
day.
We
have
about
fifty
to
sixty
kids
and
we
have
about
a
hundred
kids
signed
up
for
fragrance
last
year.
If
they
rode
90%
of
the
days
they
got
an
iPod
or
a
digital
camera,
and
we
gave
away
15
of
those
big.
L
M
It
and
I
think
parents
get
quality
time
with
their
kids,
riding
or
walking
into
school.
It's
been
fantastic.
We
actually
have
a
hundred
and
sixty
students
this
year,
who
so
far
with
biked
or
walks
gotten
out
of
their
car
every
single
day
to
school.
The
cool
thing
is
that
kids
are
changing
parents
habits,
so
there's
kids,
who
in
the
morning
the
parents
say
let's
hop
in
the
car
and
the
kid
says:
I'm
not
getting
in
the
car.
You
get
a
little
exercise
before
school.
Your
brain
is
ready.
N
We
are
peddle
to
properties,
we're
a
full-service
real
estate
company
located
here
in
beautiful
Boulder
Colorado,
and
we
put
our
focus
on
trying
to
get
our
clients
out
of
our
cars
more
and
onto
bikes.
It's
a
great
way
to
see
properties
here
in
Boulder,
great
way
to
experience
the
towns
and
just
to
get
to
know
that
neighborhood
a
little
bit
more.
N
We
actually
have
about
48
bikes
with
the
company
now
and
36
of
those
bikes
are
always
at
hotels
here
in
town,
we
give
them
to
the
hotels
to
keep
on
site
just
for
their
guests
to
be
able
to
ride
around
Boulder
no
charge.
The
project
has
really
been
successful.
Just
in
the
last
two
months,
we've
had
36
bikes,
ridden
over
550
times.
F
Walk
and
bike
month
is
a
community-wide
celebration
of
biking
and
walking,
and
we
have
over
50
events
from
how
to
ride
for
kids
and
rodeos
to
mountain
bike
rides
road
rides
and
at
the
end
of
the
month
we
do
a
bike
to
work
day.
This
year,
Bike
to
Work
Day
had
7,500
people
registered,
which
is
about
10%
of
the
population
of
Boulder.
We
had
over
a
hundred
businesses
participating
either
serving
free
breakfast
or
giving
away
prizes,
or
and
also
giving
substantial
amount
of
funding
to
support
the
effort
owning.
O
A
storm
Boulder
rocks,
there's
no
question
about
it.
It
is
one
of
the
most
fun
cycling,
towns
ever
and
people
in
this
community
love
to
ride.
They
love
the
new
cool
stuff.
They
love
the
old
vintage
stuff.
They
love
to
find
bikes
at
garage
sales
and
bring
them
in
and
found
this
really
cool
thing
and
I
want
to
like
totally
fix.
P
It
up
we're
nonprofit
bike
co-op
here
in
Boulder
Colorado.
What
we
do
is
collect,
bikes
and
use
those
bikes
to
teach
bike
mechanics.
We
have
what's
called
the
urna
bike
program
where
you
spend
15
hours
here,
helping
out
learning
about
bike,
mechanics
and
you
earn
a
bike.
Accessories
include
cargo
rack,
bail,
bottle,
cage,
kickstand
fenders,
the
idea
is
being
is
we
want
to
make
it
as
convenient?
We
want
to
break
down
any
barriers
to
cycling
that
we
can
definitely.
O
J
F
To
move
forward
so
great
to
think
the
government
can
innovate
that
they
don't
always
have
to
be
the
stores
that
are
just
preventing
new
ideas
from
happening,
that
there
are
places
where
government
is
really
forward-thinking
and
that's
certainly
driven
by
the
people
who
want
a
government.
That's
forward
thinking.
You.
