This week we are joined by Bicycle Colorado's Executive Director, Pete Piccolo to help us with the holiday cheer and talk about Bicycle Colorado's acquisition of Colorado Cycling (formerly BRAC) and what it means for the future of cycling in Colorado and what other States can look to as a model of effective bike-friendly legislation, public education and growing recreation.

Feature Interview: Pete Piccolo

Colorado’s 200-plus competitive and non-competitive bike events make our state a special place to be a bicyclist, and events contribute to local economies and nonprofits. The importance of organized events is why Colorado Cycling (now Bicycle Colorado) publishes an events calendar, promotes events, and advocates on their behalf with government agencies when needed.

 

Today, Bicycle Colorado partners with over 40, mostly non-competitive, bike events. Colorado Cycling represents a logical expansion of their existing events program that will bring Bicycle Colorado into the road and cyclocross racing scene.

 

Here to take us through the what this logical expansion means to the racing scene, recent legislative accomplishments and what opportunities lie ahead is Bicycle Colorado's Executive Director, Pete Piccolo.
