The Denver Electric Vehicle Council is actively trying to change legislation in Colorado to allow e-bikes on multi-path trails. Efforts started in Colorado Springs with the goal of a state wide change. We recently found out about a similar effort in Boulder county (see below). Getting the change in Boulder county will help the state-wide efforts. So if you can sign their county petition and attend the May presentation of the signed petitions, it would be a huge help.
Here is information on the Boulder County petition and May 21 event:
Here's the petition: http://signon.org/sign/legalize-ebikes-on-boulder?mailing_id=11906&source=s.icn.em.cr&r_by=1636404
They're going to present the petition to Boulder City Council at their May 21 Meeting. and ask them to legalize ebikes on the multi-use paths and in public bike racks, and to use the State of Colorado limit of 750 watt motors. 400 watt motors are the limit now, and just in bike lanes. They'd love it if you came too, to speak for up to 2 minutes each. Just giving your name, occupation and why it's important would be plenty. They ask for your address, but stating a town or neighborhood is fine.
You can sign up to speak ONLINE starting at 4PM on Friday May 17. All details are at: http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=528&Itemid=2407 The link to sign up is at top center of this page. You can sign up in person at the meeting too, preferably before 5PM. Meetings start at 6PM, but they've started having little award ceremonies and science talks by local scientists before Citizen Participation, so you can come a little later.
