In a 4-3 vote, Steamboat Springs City Council voted Tuesday to implement the bicycle safety stop, which would allow bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs and stop lights as stop signs when there are no cars in an intersection.
The idea was first presented to council by Routt County Riders and Bicycle Colorado in January. The two groups presented data from the state of Idaho and other Colorado communities that have implemented the law and seen decreases in crashes between cars and bicyclists.
“We’re talking about something that increases safety for cyclists and commuters around town,” said Laraine Martin, Routt County Riders executive director. “I think sometimes there’s a bit of confusion about whether this is something we think of as the convenience rolling stop.”
Officials announced the pilot program March 12, following a presentation to the city s parks board.
Previously, Class 1 e-bikes with pedal-assisted motors ceasing at 20 mph were allowed on urban, commuter paths, such as the Pikes Peak Greenway. Come summer, while land managers consider the longterm future, Class 1 e-bikes will be allowed on any trail where regular mountain bikes are permitted.
Class 2 e-bikes, with no pedaling required to activate boosts up to 20 mph, will be allowed on urban paths as part of the pilot program. The powers that be in the city recognize that emerging technology is going to help our community be a whole lot more inclusive, said El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder, an e-bike rider and outspoken supporter. Some like me are challenged in trying to ride bikes without some form of assistance. So I think this is brilliant.
