Three Colorado state legislators will sit down with State Police head Mark Trostel to discuss his order limiting the size of organized bicycle events at 2,500 riders, VeloNews reports.
Not surprisingly, all three legislators are cyclists.

“Lance is a friend of Bush. And because of that he's considered guilty by association.
