Colorado Mountain Towns Begin Motorcycle Safety Campaign

I know it sounds like they are going to just put out some flyers or give a few seminars, but it appears to be more likely a new program to cut down on impaired-riding. So, that usually means checkpoints which only ask motorcyclists to pull over; or, they will just put their focus on the riders. It is probably coming from a good place in these people's hearts, but they would do much better to educate car and truck (and, in Colorado, the bus drivers) drivers about motorcyclists as that was always the problem I encountered on the mountain roads of Colorado. If you are lucky enough to still live there, be careful when you ride in this region...they may just think your tire-warming swerve looks like you have had one too many...
