You're right GSS. I think its law in much of Colorado if you build a new road or development it MUST have an adjacent bike path. If anyone's been to the Breckenridge /Dillon/ Frisco area every road and condo complex has a bike path through it. You can ride from Frisco all the way to Breck on bike paths. I've also ridden from Aspen to Snowmass and all the way to Glenwood Springs and most of it was on a bike path. I think it was close to 40 miles. I’m sure this contributes to why Colorado is gaining young people while the Northeast is losing them.
