Bike Event Calendar

Bike COS https://www.bikecoloradosprings.org/ is sponsoring a memorial ride on Sunday, November 6 in honor of Dick Timberlake a long-time local cyclist who was struck by a vehicle and killed on Sunday, November 8, 2020 while on his way to meet others for a ride. Riders will meet in the parking lot at 4350 Centennial Blvd (CAES Colorado Springs LLC) and gather by the pole on the sidewalk at Tech Center Way and Centennial Blvd for the memorial ceremony, which will start at 12:31pm (time of crash).

The procession will then head East on the Sinton Trail, along the Pikes Peak Greenway with a brief stop at Legacy Plaza for a moment of silence, to the Rock Island Trail, ending near FH Beerworks. This is the route the ride Dick was heading to took.

We will then proceed along the same route back to the starting point at which time those who wish to will gather at Trinity Brewing, 1466 Garden of the Gods Road, for social time.

After certifying 1,700 Bicycle-Friendly Drivers in 2019, Bicycle Colorado is excited to continue to support drivers through our webinars. We will cover laws and safe practices for both road users, how to navigate on-street bicycle infrastructure and how to avoid common crashes between drivers and bicyclists. After the webinar, participants will complete an exam and those who pass will be emailed a certificate to demonstrate their new knowledge.

Through evaluations, all ages and levels of drivers (and bicyclists!) have shared that they benefited from the course and that content should be mandatory for everyone on our roads.

Thank you to those who choose to donate to support Bicycle Colorado's work of creating safer streets at https://www.bicyclecolorado.org/join-us/donate/.
