Bicycle ambassadors assist riders, walkers during detour
Volunteer bicycle ambassadors wearing bright yellow vests are helping cyclists and walkers navigate the bike routes, sidewalks and streets of Glenwood Springs during the bridge detour.
"Cyclists have turned out by the hundreds to help reduce car traffic during the detour," said Steve Smith, who is coordinating a dozen ambassadors through Glenwood Springs Bicycle Advocates. "These riders and walkers are showing a big effort, and it is making a positive difference."
Glenwood Springs Bicycle Advocates is a new organization working closely with the city of Glenwood Springs to expand practical bicycling opportunities and to encourage residents to travel by bicycle for local work, school, shopping and appointments.
The ambassadors have been out during high-traffic times in the mornings and late afternoons, advising cyclists and walkers on how to reach their destinations using the best routes.
Ambassadors are stationed at key intersections on bike paths and street crossings across the city, including the Exit 114 roundabout, Eighth Street, the Grand Avenue Pedestrian Bridge and 23rd Street.
They are also observing bicycle and pedestrian travel patterns, fielding comments about safety concerns, helping with minor bike repairs, and handing out bicycling tip sheets and handlebar bells. |
