I had a lot of fun at the kickoff of a great weekend of protected bike lanes on South Broadway! The pop-up lanes are a model of what could be the future of this bustling boulevard, currently on display between Bayaud and 1st Ave. If you have a chance this weekend, check 'em out by bike! Stop by
Sweet Action Ice Cream, hit the sidewalk sales from 1-5 PM on Saturday, shop for Halloween costumes at thrift shops, and join our group ride from Washington Park to the pop-up lanes on Sunday afternoon! We're meeting at the Boat House at about 2:15 PM, and should get to Broadway in plenty of time to decorate bikes and take part in the closing parade!

One of my favorite parts of the protected bike lanes are the vertical dividers provided by
Bike Denver. Metal planters with trees and tall grasses demonstrate how a buffer zone between bikes and motor vehicles not only improves safety, but can beautify the street as well.
