I think you are misunderstanding the issue. The ban was on bicycle traffic through the city streets...most particularly Gregory Steet. Although those bans have been lifted, the only information I can find on bicycling through Black Hawk still has bicycles banned on Gregory and many other streets in town. Here's the route you can use on a bicycle according to the town of Black Hawk and here's an article from 2013 on the post ban issue. I'm not sure if the route that Black Hawk stipulates is still in effect.

Frankly, I avoid Black Hawk/Central City. I haven't been anywhere close to them since gambling was authorized in 1991. I certainly wouldn't spend any money or time in Black Hawk.
