Go-Tober prize winner - It pays to play!
Last month’s Go-Tober participation was low but we had a CU prize winner! Kelsey L. won the Strava Cyclist Grand Prize package thanks to her use of Strava to track her trips. Prizes included a brand new helmet, bike light, and t-shirt from Elevation Cycles! Congratulations to Kelsey and a reminder to all that My Way to Go is doing challenges each month so sign up, track trips, and you too can win just for logging your bike commutes.

Folsom Separated Bike Lanes Are Being Installed!
This is the first time the City has used a concrete curb to provide separation between a bike lane and travel lane that are at the same grade within the street and the first curb separated bike lane facility to be constructed following the adoption of the low-stress walk and bike network plan!
Colorado Law Requires Three Feet to Pass
New highway signs in Colorado remind drivers to give 3 Feet to Pass. Colorado’s “Three-Foot” law requires motorists to give people biking at least three feet of space, even if it means crossing a double yellow line to do so when the coast is clear. Thanks to advocacy by Bicycle Colorado and the help of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), you should see new signs in 2022 on our state highways that clearly state this law and eliminate confusion with existing messaging.
