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.

Time for a little reality check: A cyclist hit by a passing pickup truck pulling two trailers had to take her case all the way to the Kentucky Supreme Court to affirm her right to the road.
The court struck down a ruling that essentially blamed the cyclist for being on the road when the vehicle hit her, according to the League of American Bicyclists.
When I read about all the laws being passed to support cyclists, “share the road” license plates being printed and road signs posted, it's shocking to learn how people — including judges — view cyclists' rights to the road. Non-existent. …

The Cyclelicious blogger recently wrote about trying to rip off a piece of dangling handlebar tape while riding in a peloton.
I was dumbfounded that someone else had done something that stupid on a bike. It also gave me a great deal of comfort. Misery loves company.
Here's the dumbest things I've done on a bicycle. I'm sure many of you will find …
