1. A letter to Secretary Buttigieg demanding vehicle technology (already available) be mandated to detect cyclists and pedestrians making the car brake.

2. A letter to your local representative demanding tougher sentences on motorist killing cyclists.

3. A petition to fastrack the construction of a protected bike lane from Boulder to Lyons on Highway 36.
