Signs that just went up in Colorado Springs open space parks remind that e-bikes and other forms of motorized assist devices are prohibited in open spaces.
Glenwood Springs is celebrating Colorado Bike to Work Day on Wednesday, when bicyclists of all ages are encouraged to stop by the City Hall Plaza, 101 W. Eighth St., or the Rio Grande Trail intersection.
When Silver- thorne resident Jacob Miller visited Mesa County earlier this month to ride the Lunch Loops trail system, he relied entirely on his legs and lungs to power a regular mountain bike.
But when asked if he thought electric-powered bikes, or e-bikes, should be allowed on trails like those at Lunch Loops, he said he saw no reason not to allow them.
âI mean, itâs all about impacts, right, and they donât have any more impact on the trail than a regular bicycle. Theyâre not noisy, I mean not impactful in any way, on the environment, on the ears,â he said.
