Sidewalks Are NOT For E-Bikes
Thursday, at around 11:00 a.m., I was cycling eastbound on Sycamore Street and then turned onto southbound Diamond Drive. As I did so, I observed no pedestrians or cyclists, respectively, on the sidewalk or in the bike lane. I had just crossed the Pueblo Canyon fill bridge with the intent to turn onto westbound Ridgeway. As a highly-experienced and accomplished cyclist, I maintain a high level of situational awareness when on two wheels. Apparently, however, my level of situational awareness was not high enough today! As I started to turn right on to Ridgeway, an e=bike passed me on the right at a high rate of speed (much faster than I was riding). Immediately thereafter, a second e-bike passed me on the right. Though startled, my quick reflexes prevented a collision and I did not have to swerve into the traffic lane. There are several issues highlighted by this incident.
