The cyclists will be out in full force exercising their rights under Colorado Senate Bill 148. Technically the bill becomes effective August 5th, but if you haven’t already, it’s time to start driving like it’s already in effect.
The way I read it, on a 2 lane road, as long as there isn’t oncoming traffic, they can ride two abreast, especially if there’s a bike lane for one of the riders. They no longer need to pull over single file (although they rarely did anyway).
It would be nice if they had license plates too.
Why didn’t this bill outline some responsibilities for cyclists, like under what conditions headlights and reflectors are required? Probably a good thing as it would have been left up to the cyclists judgement.
