I agree with Devin. The city has shown signs of being more accomadating
to cyclist but I wouldn't yet call it a "Bicycling Friendly Community".

One example is that I was riding to work on Monday and no bike path I normally take to work was cleared on smow or ice. I called the city and was informed that the bike paths/lanes are not considered a major route, so they would clean them, when they got around to it. I would vote against Longmont getting this award just based on that alone.

<pre wrap="">Richard,
I think that Longmont has a long way to go to be considered "Bicycle Friendly". One example is that I was riding to work on Monday and no bike path I normally take to work was cleared on smow or ice. I called the city and was informed that the bike paths/lanes are not considered a major route, so they would clean them, when they got around to it. I would vote against Longmont getting this award just based on that alone.

Cyclists should expect and demand
safe
accommodation on our public roads,
just as does every other user.
Nothing more is expected.
Nothing less is acceptable!
