Colorado Springs is actually halfway to being a fantastic city for cycling. Halfway because half of the city (west of Academy Boulevard) is already great for both recreational and utility cycling. The problem that I think we’re going to continue to struggle with is that the eastern, growing, part of the city is an absolute disaster of enforced automobile dependency, and it lacks the scenery and terrain that draws recreational riders to Palmer Park, Pulpit Rock, Ute Valley, Garden of the Gods, and the rest.
